I am a French fourth-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.

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.

I speak French, English, and Italian, and I am beginning to learn German.
