I am an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. My research focuses on 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 and political science. 

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, a PhD in law from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from Harvard Law School.

My habilitation thesis (University of Zurich, 2024), forthcoming with Cambridge University Press, examines the constitutional framework governing legislative lobbying in Europe and in the United States. My PhD thesis (University of Fribourg, 2017), published with Brill/Nijhoff and supervised by Prof. Samantha Besson (University of Fribourg, now also Collège de France), offers a normative appraisal of how domestic courts interpret international law. 

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

I have held visiting scholar positions 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 Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, DC (2023-2024). In 2025 and 2026, I also served as a Visiting Professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.

French and German are my native languages. On this website, you will find my detailed CV, publications, conference activities, teaching information, and an overview of selected research projects.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, drinking cappuccino, sports, reading fiction and non-fiction, travelling, and exploring museums and bookstores.
