I am a PhD candidate in philosophy at École Normale Supérieure (PSL) in Paris.

My work focuses on our interaction with technology in a world marked by inequalities.

In a first line of research, I am particularly interested in the concept of alienation. My doctoral dissertation titled “Algorithmic Alienation” examines digital colonialism through the work of Frantz Fanon.

A second line of research focuses on data privacy and data protection. Part of this research looks at the notion of feminist data protection, the role of race, and Afrofuturism. Another part of this research examines the role of financial technology in Ghana. The latter is a collaborative project with Emmanuel Frimpong Boamah.

In a third line of research, I analyze the interplay between technology and planetary change. Here, I am currently working on the epistemologies of planetary modeling and postcolonial critiques of the Anthropocene.

At ENS, I am part of the Chaire Gépolitique du Risque and the République des Savoirs.
