I am an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Currently, I am also a visiting scholar at the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington DC (July 2023-December 2024). I hold 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 research draws upon other disciplines, especially political theory, political science, and history. 

My habilitation thesis, which was accepted by the Faculty of Law of the University of Zurich in October 2024, analyzes 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), provided a normative evaluation of the interpretative methods that domestic courts use in cases with an international law dimension. 

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