I am a researcher and lecturer at Mines Paris – PSL, and a Research Associate at the Interdisciplinary Innovation Institute (UMR CNRS 9217), a joint research unit involving Mines Paris – PSL, École Polytechnique, and Télécom Paris. My research focuses on innovation management, strategic R&D management, eco-design, entrepreneurship, and university–industry collaborations. My work has been published in leading international journals such as Research Policy, European Management Review, and Research in Engineering Design.
I hold a PhD in Strategic Management and Innovation from Mines Paris – PSL (2017), and a Habilitation to Supervise Research (HDR) in Management and Organization Sciences from École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris (2025). In 2022, I co-founded the Specialized Master’s program Entrepreneurship Deeptech & Innovation at Mines Paris – PSL, followed in 2024 by the Deeptech Entrepreneurship minor at Université PSL. I teach deeptech entrepreneurship and innovation at Mines Paris – PSL, and eco-design for sustainable innovation at École Polytechnique. I am also involved in executive education programs at HEC Paris, École Polytechnique, and Université Paris Dauphine – PSL.
From 2019 to 2021, I served as Assistant Professor at École des Ponts ParisTech, where I taught engineering design and innovation and chaired the Department of Industrial Engineering.
In 2021, I received the Academic Research Award in Management from the French Foundation for Management Education (FNEGE) and Syntec Conseil, as well as several distinctions for my doctoral dissertation, including the Best PhD Thesis Award in Management (2018). I regularly contribute to professional publications such as Harvard Business Review France, Forbes, Polytechnique Insights, and The Conversation, with the aim of sharing my research with a broader audience.
