Her academic appointments include:

• Scientific Managing Director, Center for Advanced Studies "Migration and Mobility in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages" (April 2022–present)

She earned her Master of Arts in Medieval History from the University of Tübingen (2012) and completed a binational Bachelor of Arts/Licence in History and Law through the TübAix program at University of Tübingen and Aix-Marseille University (2009–2012).

Her research focuses on:

• Political transformations during Carolingian/post-Carolingian transitions
• Historiographical debates around "mutation de l'an mil" and feudal revolution
• Methodologies in historical narrative analysis
• Mediterranean regional history
• Early medieval source criticism

Her doctoral dissertation analyzed the Kingdom of Provence (Lower Burgundy) as a case study for Carolingian world transformation, pioneering methodology that distinguishes narrative sources (interpreted within their political context) from non-narrative documents like charters (treated as political performances revealing regional networks and structures).

She has contributed to major research initiatives including Collaborative Research Center 923 "Threatened Orders" where she examined political reordering around 900 CE, emphasizing how administrative documents function as political acts rather than neutral records.
