Research activities: 

I am a geographer whose research focuses on the relations between human groups and maritime space. Through the lens of STS and critical approaches, I particularly use the case of fisheries in marine spatial planning to study how power relations and knowledge issues intertwine in (geo)technological devices (data, types of knowledge, planning documents, mapping features) that ultimately shape 'socio-technical agencements' forming an intermediate with the marine 'environment'.

My researches are developed within the lab. LETG (of which I'm also deputy director since 2015) and in relation with the IUML.

Projects: 

I am currently involved in 4 research programs:

  • Chaire maritime (PI, University of Nantes' Fondation, 2018-2023),
  • COP-VALPENA (PI; European Union, EMFF, 2018-2021),
  • SP-MSP (coord. T. Klenke, Univ. Oldenburg; European Union, Erasmus +, 2016-2019),
  • PADDLE (coord. M. Bonnin, IRD; European Union, H2020-MSCA-RISE, 2017-2021).

These last 10 years, I received 5 grants for research programs (as PI) and have been involved in 11 others (as a participant or as a WP leader).
