Her research focuses on the reception of Sophocles in France and England in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 2009, she completed her thesis, 'Sophoclean Revenge: Renaissance and Enlightenment Re-writings', conducted under a joint supervision agreement between the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford and the Département d'Etudes Anglophones at l’Université de Paris 10 (supervisors: Fiona Macintosh and Ann Lecercle). This was followed by an Agrégation in English in 2010. She has translated numerous articles both from French to English and from English to French, as well as, most recently, Ann Jefferson's book on the impact of life-writing on theories of French literature entitled La Biographie, ou la littérature en question (Presses Universitaires de France, forthcoming).
