Maritime geography, GIS/mapping, Thesis supervision (to date: 73 Master dissert. and 6 PhD dissert.).
I've also been the Director of the Master "Geography & Planning of Maritime spaces" (2011-2015), created in 1976 in the University of Nantes.
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 CNRS lab LETG (of which I have been deputy director between 2015 and 2020) and in relation with the IUML, a marine and coastal research consortium of the University of Nantes.
I am currently involved in 5 research programs:
Since 2007, I received 6 grants for research programs (as coordinator) and have been involved in 13 others (as a participant or as a WP leader).
