I am a senior research fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) in Athens, Greece. My research focuses on the history of European integration and the history of migration in Europe since 1945.
My book, The History of the European Migration Regime (Routledge, 2018), explains the configuration that made free migration possible between the countries of the European Community, then Union. I have published scholarly articles in English, French or Spanish in The International Spectator, Afers Internacionals, Cold War History, Labor History, Le Mouvement social, Relations internationales, and the Journal of European Integration History. I have worked in the framework of a variety of collective research projects, funded by the French National Research Agency, the EU's research and innovation funding programme Horizon 2020, and the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (ELIDEK).
A graduate of the École normale supérieure in Paris (Ulm, PSL), I earned a European PhD summa cum laude in the History of Europe and International Relations from Sorbonne University, with a prize-winning dissertation titled "The Formation of the European Migration Regime, 1947–1992." I held successive academic and research positions at the European University Institute in Florence, the University of California, Berkeley, the Vienna School of International Studies, and the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB).
