Since October 2026, I take part of the European PSOILICY programme at INRAE, within LSE. My responsibilities include organisational and coordination across work packages, quality assurance of scientific and technical deliverables, and data management, communication, and engagement within the international consortium. Previously, my work focused on infectious disease modelling and forecasting, scientific evidence synthesis, and risk assessment at ECDC and EFSA, as well as the epidemiology of zoonotic pathogens in wildlife. My professional background combines scientific analysis, research project management, and international stakeholder coordination in support of research and public health.
