I was born in France, and educated in Italy, France, Denmark and England. After undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the Sorbonne and the Ecole normale supérieure, I completed my doctorate at the University of Oxford in 2022, where I was a funded British research council student (AHRC-DTP), a Gilbert Ryle scholar at Linacre College, and the inaugural doctoral scholar of the Swedenborg Society in London.
I am currently a European research council postdoctoral researcher at the University of Jyväskylä (JYU) in Finland. There, I am working within the ERC-Consolidator project
De-centring eighteenth century political economy: rethinking growth, wealth, and welfare in the Swedish Empire (ERC, DEPE, 101088549) led by Prof. Ere Nokkala until 2028. Before coming to JYU, I worked at the University of Oxford as a British research council postdoctoral fellow, and then as a Hagströmer fellow in history at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, while also teaching at Stockholm University.
I have been the recipient of several funded short term research fellowships, most notably at the
Huntington Library in San Marino, California (2019), the
Fondazione Cini in Venice, Italy (2019), the
Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences (2022, 2024), and the
University of Amsterdam (2023).
I am an associate researcher of the
Oxford Faculty of History, an elected Associate Fellow of the
Royal Historical Society, a member of the board of directors of the
Swedenborg Foundation, and a member of the international research group
War Losses and Casualties, which brings together historians of war, medicine, and the body.
More broadly, I am an award-winning science communicator and author, passionate about public and academic speaking. You can find more about my research on this website, and reach me via email or social media. I welcome inquiries to share expertise, speak, and provide mentorship.
