I am a French PhD candidate in comparative politics at Sciences Po (CERI / CSO), working at the intersection of urban studies, public policy analysis, and a critical sociology of risk.
My current research compares the development of material flow accounting and their integration into planning strategies in the regions of Paris and Amsterdam. My work examines how these instruments contribute to the construction of 'metabolic risk', as the incorporation of biophysical vulnerabilities into territorial governance, and the planning of related productive activities.
More broadly, my research engages with transformations of the State, and policy change dynamics. In my work, I study the reshuffling of political and territorial power in a context of mounting ecological, social, and geopolitical risks. My research has been evaluated through peer review and has been published - or is forthcoming - in a range of academic journals including Cities, Territory, Politics, Governance, and Ecological Economics. In addition, some of my book chapters have been published by established academic presses, including Sciences Po Press and Mines Paris Press.
*PhD Title: *** Planning the city from its material flows, or the governance of the biophysical limits of power. Accounting for and constructing metabolic risk in the urban regions of Paris and Amsterdam.
I have undertaken research stays at the London School of Economics and Political Science (Department of Government) and at the Universität für Bodenkultur Wien (Institute of Social Ecology). I have also been an associate researcher at the University of Glasgow (Urban Big Data Centre), as well as a prospective research officer for the Plan Urbanisme Construction Architecture (PUCA) and for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
Below, some of my research interests :
Beyond my academic work, my interests extend well beyond the university setting. I am an enthusiast of cinema, theatre, and literature, with a particular fondness for graphic novels. I am also a regular sports practitioner. I hold a judo /ju-jitsu black belt (2nd dan), I am also a certified instructor in this discipline. I also regularly practice climbing, running, and cycling.
Born and raised in the Alps, between the Belledonne, Vercors, Chartreuse, Oisans and Devoluy massifs, I have developed a deep attachment to the mountains and to related issues. This long-standing passion is reflected in my regular engagement in the French Alpine Club, and with mountain activities throughout the year, including alpinism, skiing, ice climbing, glacier travel, ridge traverses, multi-pitch routes, and dry tooling.
When based in the Paris region, it is not uncommon to find me spending weekends in the Fontainebleau Forest, climbing on its iconic boulders.
