I am a Senior Researcher at FORS, the Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences. I am also a member and coordinator of the Swiss Elite Observatory of the University of Lausanne, and an affiliate member of the Chair of Human Resources and Organization of the University of Fribourg.

I completed my PhD in Social Sciences at the University of Lausanne in September 2020, where I was a Graduate Assistant at the Institute of Social Sciences. I have also been a visiting scholar at the Department of Sociology of Columbia University.

My research bridges two main areas: the sociology of elites and research data management. Within elite studies, I am interested in understanding how elite groups acquire, maintain, and transmit positions of power, and the inequalities surrounding access to these roles. I have conducted research on the careers and recruitment mechanisms of business elites, along with research on the familial and dynastic transmission of power in Switzerland. As part of this focus, I am also a member of the World Elite Database, an international consortium of scholars working together to develop a new standardized data regime to study elite populations.

In the realm of research data management, I teach and conduct research on data management practices. I am particularly interested by the challenges of implementing open research data and data reusability within the social sciences. I currently serve as a member of the Reviewers' Pool for the Programme Open Science of swissuniversities.

I employ a diverse array of methods, including biographical interviews, sequence analysis, and multiple correspondence analysis. My research has been published in journals such as Sociology, Business History, Social Science History, Global Networks, Revue Française de Sociologie, and Sociologies Pratiques.
