I am currently a Post-Doc Fellow at EM Lyon Business School (France), a 2025 Science Diplomacy Fellow with the National Science Policy Network (NSPN), and a finalist in the 2025-2026 cohort of the AAAS Science and Technology Fellowship.
I take a multidisciplinary approach to research. I am interested in the fields of science and technology studies, innovation policy, as well as child and adolescent health. My research falls broadly into two streams.
First, through a comparative study of ideas in policy for science, technology and innovation (STI), my research interrogates the concepts that get inserted in such policies and that propagate across countries. I explore how these global concepts are reformulated within countries and are transformed through national strategies and initiatives showing the entangled ways in which global ideas are co-constructed locally. I am particularly interested in the political effects of advisory groups in STI policymaking and the values that guide policy action.
Second, drawing from work with the World Health Organization I have analyzed data from the cross-national Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study to understand trends around bullying, sexual health and the impact of cross-national policies. I am also curious about youth participation in policy matters that affect them and on the impact of food insecurity in childhood and adolescence. I have participated on the evaluation and development of the European child and adolescent health strategy.
