Since October 2017 I am a CNRS political scientist at the Centre Emile Durkheim, Sciences Po Bordeaux. Before joining the Centre Emile Durkheim I spend three years at the University of Constance (Germany) as a post-doctoral researcher in the Working Group for Comparatives Politics of Professor Christian Breunig and since 2016 as a Margarete von Wrangell-Habilitation fellow. The Margarete von Wrangell-Program aims to encourage qualified women scientists to complete a postdoctoral Habilitation at a university in Baden-Württemberg.

I completed my PhD in 2014 under the direction of Sylvain Brouard (public defence: 14^th of November 2014). Before and during my PhD I worked as a research assistant for research projects on the French Senate and for a on the French National Assembly.

In 2019 my research project CosPo obtained a three year funding from the French Research Agency (ANR). The aim of this project is to lift the veil on how governments use public opinion and how they contribute to the construction of public opinion through opinion polls, thus contributing to a better understanding of how representation works.
Working in a comparative perspective, my work focuses as a first step on the French and German governments, combining quantitative analyses of polls commissioned directly by the governments and interviews with the main actors in this field.

I am involved in the German and French Policy Agendas Projects, as well as in several other comparative research projects on political representation (Paranel, Partirep, CITREP etc.). and the French project PARTIPOL devoted to the links between political parties and policies.
