Biographie
In September 2025, I joined Sciences Po as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at AxPo and the CEE. I completed my PhD (“The Green Transition in the Labor Market and its Political Consequences”) in Political Science in July 2025 at the Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality" at the University of Konstanz. From October 2023 to March 2024, I was a visiting scholar at Nuffield College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. I hold a dual master's degree in European Affairs from Sciences Po Paris and Political Economy of Europe from the London School of Economics.

Recherche en cours
In my dissertation, I focused on the political consequences of the green transition in the labor market in terms of social and public policy preferences as well as voting behavior. At Sciences Po, I will work on my postdoctoral project "Retraining for the Green Transition – Preferences and Policy-Making," where I will investigate preferences for retraining policies in the wake of the green transition by affected workers, works councils and managers, and how these preferences are translated into policy concerning retraining.
