Current situation

Since October 2023 › PhD in Environmental Geography, Analyse of the multilevel energy-climate planning from multilevel and European perspectives, University of Strasbourg - Laboratoire Image, Ville, Environnement, LIVE - UMR 7362). Co-supervised by par Nadège Blond (main supervisor) (UMR 7362 - Laboratoire Image, Ville, Environnement, LIVE) and Thierry de Larochelambert (UMR 6174 - Institut FEMTO-ST).

My main research focuses on the energy and climate planning in France and Denmark. Especially, I study the relations between strategies and stakeholders in a multilevel context (municipal, regional, national) and toward cross-boundaries issues. I mix methods and approaches, such as technical analyses and semi-structured interviews to bring a holistic perspective of my research. Based on the evidences showcased in my work, my PhD aims at providing recommendations on the coordination of energy-climate strategies toward a sustainable achievement of such environmental goals.
