I am an interdisciplinary social scientist, interested in the relations between science and society. My doctoral research dealt with the circulation and political appropriations of evolutionary sciences among online manosphere communities. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher within the international and multidisciplinary IMSO4DIPLO project, coordinated by Cassidy R. Sugimoto (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Didier Torny (CSI-i3) for the French team. My research focuses on meta-scientific observatories and science diplomacy through qualitative case studies.
