I am a French third-year PhD candidate at the European University Institute. My thesis deals with “Naval salutes, international hierarchy, and the representation of power at sea in the early modern Mediterranean”. I am interested in early modern diplomatic history, maritime history, and the history of representations and symbols.

I recently published an article in Italian about disputes of rank during the Franco-Maltese expeditions of the 1660s, which you can find under the "Cadmus publications" of this website. Additionally, I have written an article in French on sixteenth-century naval precedence, which is still under review.

My research is currently focusing on naval ceremonies, flags and their meanings, and the implications of such traditions for early modern State-building, both in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, in a global history perspective.

Additionally, I am currently a coordinator of the Diplomatic and International History working group.

My previous research at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne dealt with French early modern naval ceremony under Louis XIV, as well as the 1684 bombing of Genoa, under the supervision of Guillaume Calafat and Jean-François Chauvard.

If you would like to reach me, I am available on Bluesky and Mastodon.

I speak French, English and Italian.
