I am an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. I hold a habilitation in law from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, with a venia legendi in public international law, European law, public law, legal theory, and comparative law. I obtained a PhD in law from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Harvard Law School.

My main areas of research are comparative public law, constitutional and administrative law, public international law, EU law, and legal theory. My work often draws on other disciplines, especially political theory, political science, and history. 

My habilitation thesis, which I completed in 2024 at the University of Zurich, analyzed the constitutional framework that applies to legislative lobbying in Europe and in the United States. My PhD thesis, which I completed in 2017, and which was supervised by Prof. Samantha Besson (University of Fribourg, now also Collège de France), offered a normative evaluation of how domestic courts interpret international law. 

I studied law at the bilingual (D/F) University of Fribourg (2007-2013), the Center of Transnational Legal Studies in London (2011-2012), and Harvard Law School (2015-2016, Fulbright scholar). I was a doctoral researcher at the University of Fribourg (2013-2017) and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Zurich (2018-2021), before joining the University of Lausanne as an Associate Professor in 2021. 

I have been a visiting scholar at Harvard Law School (2016, 2022-2023), the University of Oxford (2016-2017), the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg (2017), the Center for European Studies and Comparative Politics at Sciences Po Paris (2021-2022), and the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC (2023-2024). 

Since Spring 2025, I have also been a Visiting Professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.

My native languages are French and German. On this website, you will find a more detailed CV, list of publications, list of conferences, information about my teaching, and information about selected larger projects I have conducted.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, drinking cappuccino, doing sports, reading fiction and non-fiction, traveling, visiting museums and bookstores, taking photographs – and laughing whenever possible ;-)
