I am completing my PhD in political science under the supervision of Professor Éric Montpetit at Université de Montréal. I am also a postdoctoral fellow jointly affiliated with the Réseau francophone international en conseil scientifique (RFICS) and the Centre de recherche sur la science et la technologie (CIRST), under the supervision of Professor François Claveau. Additionally, I serve as a postdoctoral researcher within the ENDURE project, under the supervision of Professor Philippe Bourbeau.
My research interests lies in public policy and public administration. I focus on the integration of science into public policy, the organization and institutionalization of scientific adivce and advisory systems, expert networks, as well as pandemic policies. I pay particular attention to the relationship between uncertainty, cognition, emotions, and the use of science and scientific evidence in policymaking.
I employ mixed methods, both qualitative and quantitative, with a particular interest in natural language processing (NLP) techniques, which I am actively working to develop further.
