Biography
Born and raised in France, I have lived, studied, worked and carried out research in India, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, the United States and Hong Kong. I received a PhD in Political Science from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) and currently work across the areas of Comparative and International Politics as well as South and Southeast Asian Studies. My most recent research has shed light on the politics of dissent and collective action, civil-military relations and parliamentary affairs under authoritarian and praetorian rule, with Myanmar as my core field of study.
Before joining, and while at, City University of Hong Kong, I received a number of visiting fellowships, including from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC (2015-16), the Singapore-based ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute (2015 and 2017) and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) of Kyoto University (2026). I also taught comparative politics at the University of Hong Kong (Center of Asian Studies/HK Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences, 2009-13), and Sciences Po Paris (2008-09). I have written policy guidance on Myanmar and India for international NGOs, think tanks, and various French governmental bodies.
