Doctor by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona with the thesis The Participation of the EU and its member states in the development of the law of non-international armed conflicts-the French and Spanish cases / 2017. Supervised by Dr. Teresa Freixes Sanjuán.

A native of France, I am an assistant professor (profesora lectora) at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). I hold a PhD in law from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), a Bachelor of Laws and a Master’s in Public Law from the University of Montpellier. I then pursued a Master’s degree in European Law and Politics, a two-year bilingual program with mobility at the four partner universities (UAB – ES, Università degli Studi di Milano - IT, Uniwersytet Szczecinski – PL, and Université Montpellier I - FR).During my PhD (2013-2017), I had the chance to go to UC Berkeley (Boalt Hall, USA) and Paris II Panthéon-Assas University (FR) as a visiting scholar. I also benefited from a four-year predoctoral scholarship at the UAB, a ‘Carlos V European Award – Sofia Corradi’ grant from the European Academy of Yuste Foundation, and the 2018 Jaime Brunet Prize for the best doctoral thesis on the promotion of human rights. In parallel, I have undertaken teaching in public law at the UAB and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona).Besides my experience in the academia, I have worked for the EU-funded project EuroMed Justice IV (2017-2019), the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA) as a research assistant (2011-2012), and I served as Global Connections Volunteer at the UCF Global Perspectives Office, USA (2010).I also offer research and consultancy services in my fields of expertise, which include European constitutional law, the multilevel protection of fundamental rights, and gender equality.
