Welcome!

​

I am an Associate Research Scholar in the department of political science at Yale University.

 

My main field of research is democratic theory. 

​

In collaboration with Hélène Landemore, my research at Yale focuses on deliberative democracy and democratic innovations such as citizens' assemblies.

​

I defended my doctoral thesis on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's political philosophy in 2018 at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. The book based on my dissertation was published in 2024 by Classiques Garnier.

​

In 2015, I was a visiting doctoral student at the Ethics Research Center (Centre de Recherche en Éthique) in Montreal, Canada.  

​

From 2018 to 2022, I led a junior interdisciplinary laboratory at ENS Lyon on Changes and Current trends in Democracies. ​

​

On this website, you will find information on my research and teaching.

​

I hope you come across something that interests you.
