Welcome!

I'm an Associate Professor of Work & Organizational Psychology at Paris Nanterre University (France). I received my PhD in Work & Organizational Psychology from the University of Bordeaux (France) and the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). Prior to my graduate studies, I worked as a HR senior analyst in a multinational brewery company.

My research examines the psychosocial implications of the technological transformation of organizations (including new ways of working, industry of the future, sustainable organizations), the emergence of adaptive and proactive behaviors at work, and the diversity in the workplace (including team composition).

I use a wide range of (quantitative and qualitative) research methods and techniques, including (lab, field, online) experiments, survey studies, advanced statistical modeling (measurement, structural, multilevel) and analysis of observational and interview data.

What I Do

Changing nature of work

We are living in a world where technology is changing our society but also organizations and even the way we work. I am interested in how organizations change as a result of the integration of new technologies (e.g. arti¬cial intelligence, advanced robotics, big data).

Learning in the workplace

Learning at work has been a very productive research line in W/O Psychology. Nevertheless, there is a need for research related to informal learning and other meaningful experiences at work which contribute to the development of strategic skills at work.

Transformation and Innovation

Organizations can facilitate or constrain the development of their employees. In this context, the understanding of transformation and innovation in organizations are two multidimensional phenomena which are important not only for organizations but also for employees.

Research methods and statistics

My research aims to explore organizational phenomena as a process based on a longitudinal and dynamic perspective. At the same time, I learn and explore new ways and statistical tools to analyze the dynamic relationship between individual and contextual factors.
