I am a Professor of European Economic Policy at UcLouvain since 2018 and I was the co-editor of the journal Politique Européenne between 2018 and 2024. My fields of specialisation are political economy, European studies, financial ethics, central banks and financial crises.
I received my PhD in political science from Sciences-Po in Grenoble in December 2012 on how the ECB extended its political influence and competences during the eurozone crisis. After my PhD, I taught at Sciences Po Lille and did post-doctoral research stays at the Centre de Recherche en Éthique of the University of Montreal, at the PACTE/CNRS laboratory for the H2020 project EmuChoices and for the Financial Ethics research group at the University of Gothenburg.
I am involved as a collaborator or principal investigator in research projects on the history of macroeconomic models at the Bank of England (collaborator), the EU just transtion (co-PI) and on the EU Green taxonomy (PI).
I am the author of numerous publications in scientific journals in French and English (see publication tab) and I am co-author of the book "Do Central Banks serve the People" (Polity, 2018), translated into French (ed. Raisons d'agir, 2019). I regularly disseminate the results of my research in English speaking media such as Social Europe or Euractiv.
I am currently promoting or co-promoting the following research:
- Antoine de Cabanes' thesis (FNRS candidate) comparing the political work done on the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank
- Tanguy Brun's thesis (FNRS candidate) on the strategies of financial firms towards regulatory projects of greening finance
