Research and expertise
My current research is based on urban sanitation, faecal sludge management, focusing on services emptying and transporting faecal sludge.
Investigating several cities in Sub-Saharan Africa, my PhD looks into the regulation of these services and how they can be safely provided to all.
I am also interested in management and governance issues in the water and sanitation sector.

Profile
I hold a master's degree in Political Science and a master's degree in International Relations from La Sorbonne University.
Before joining the Water Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) at Loughborough University, I worked as a consultant for NGOs and International Organisations on Water and Sanitation Governance, in both emergency and development contexts in Africa and Asia.
After one year as a Research Associate on the Shit Flow Diagram project, I am now a Doctoral Researcher on urban sanitation.
