Welcome to my academic page

My work is in the field of ecological economics. I rely on the institutionalist economy of technical change integrating the limits of the biosphere and the transformations occurring in socio-economic development models.

I have the opportunity to be a member of several research projects and to study major issues of sustainability: environmental innovation (i.e circular economy and eco-design) and social innovations. I focus also on the transformations of agriculture and chemical industries (including the emergence of vegetal and green chemistry) 

Today my work focuses on the topic of the bioeconomy both at a theoretical and empirical level. I develop also my work methods through the analysis of complex systems (e.g. multi-level approach, innovation, social interactions, community) and an evolutionary approach. 

Finally, I believe that the complexity of the bioeconomy and sustainability issues can only be understood by encouraging collaborations across scientific disciplines. This is why I work closely with colleagues in the life sciences and engineering sciences.
