I am a PhD student at the Laboratory for History of Science and Technology at the Ecole
Polytechnique fédérale of Lausanne in Switzerland. Before beginning my Phd, I studied in Paris
and worked for a year and half in the science and philosophy laboratory (LARSIM) of the
French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. My research was at the
intersection of Gilbert Simondon’s philosophy and knowledge management.
My research project is about the evolution of technical drawing in England between 1750 and 1850. These drawings were material parts of specific technical languages which became more complex through practice and theory, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In this project, I will focus on two types of technical drawings, those from institutions that encouraged or protected inventions (e.g. the Royal Society of Arts) and those from the commercial world (e.g. advertising).
In parallel, I am also working on the history of the representation of Scandinavia in different periods and in different media
