She earned her PhD in Islamic art history from the Université Aix-Marseille (Aix-en-Provence, France). She studied at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and holds degrees from Mohammad V University (Rabat, Morocco) and the Sorbonne (Paris, France). A specialist of Islamic art, her work touches upon a wide variety of topics, including cultural appropriation, iconoclasm and artistic reflexivity, with a transversal interest in the relationships between representation and materiality. Her current book project deals with metapictoriality in fifteenth-century Persian painting. Her research has been supported by numerous fellowships and grants, including a Coleman Memorial Fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of art (New York) and a predoctoral fellowship at the Freer and Sackler Galleries of Art (Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.).
