I am an information scientist and historian of science  interested in processing, organisation, acquisition, and interpretation of information, the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and the formation of fields of knowledge.

My PhD research explored the impact of the information explosion of the sixteenth century within the field of zoology, more specifically the organisation and presentation of zoological information (by means of classification, but in relation to description and depiction of species, and the physical organisation and layout of texts and books), in a context of exchange and collective interpretation of information. As a case study, my research takes the (at that point in time) most rapidly growing field of ​​knowledge within zoology: ichthyology, with Conrad Gessner’s (1516-1565) Historia piscium (1558) as point of departure.

This website offers an overview of my academic publications and editorial projects, research, conferences, and teaching.
