Bio
I hold a Ph.D. in International Public Law from Paris Descartes University (Sorbonne Paris Cité), awarded in 2016 with the highest honors (Summa Cum Laude) and the Doctoral School’s Thesis Award. My dissertation, entitled “Common but Differentiated Responsibilities: Contribution to the Structuration of a General Principle of International Environmental Law”, was defended before a distinguished jury composed of Professors Joël Andriantsimbazovina (President), Yves Daudet (Rapporteur), Sophie Lavallée (Rapporteur), Anne-Thida Norodom, and Eric Canal-Forgues (Thesis Director).
Since 2023, I have served as Co-Director of the Master’s programme in Sustainable Environmental Engineering and Law (SEEL). In addition to this role, I teach several public law courses across various academic programmes, including Public International Law, Advanced International Law, and Environmental Mobility. I also coordinate a Certificate in UAE Law, taught entirely in Arabic, designed to enhance legal literacy and practice within the national legal system.
My academic and professional trajectory is grounded in a sustained exploration of the dialogical relationships between legal systems and the circulation of legal concepts and norms across different normative orders. My research focuses on how international law—particularly in the fields of environmental governance, climate justice, and sustainable development—functions as a space of interaction, translation, and adaptation between domestic, regional, and global legal frameworks. I examine how legal principles such as differentiated state responsibilities evolve and acquire meaning through this cross-systemic dialogue.
I also serve as Director of the Entertainment & Law book series published by Bruylant, which investigates the legal dimensions of artistic, cultural, and performative practices across diverse creative industries.
Fluent in Arabic, French, and English, I actively contribute to multilingual and cross-cultural academic environments through both my teaching and my legal scholarship.
