She has researched naturalisation legislations, securitization of immigration law-making, and on counterterrorism policies. She is the author of Géopolitique du risque. De la possibilité du danger à l'incertitude de la menace (2022, Éditions du Cavalier Bleu) with J. P Burgess, as well as numerous articles in journals such as Geopolitics, Review of International Studies, European Journal of International Security, Big Data & Society and Études internationales.
