Currently Teaching assistant at Harvard RLL. Student at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, I achieved last year a Master's Degree in History, under the supervision of Stéphane Van Damme and Bertrand Van Ruymbeke. My thesis is entitled "New England, a crucible for the exchange of medical knowledge in the Atlantic World", and it adresses the issue of the interaction between European science, native knowledge and colonists practices in the Puritain colonies, through an atlantic, vast early America perspective.
