Eugène is a doctoral researcher in the ‘Sustainable Resource Flows’ project within the Mistra Geopolitics Programme at the Environmental and Energy Systems Studies, LTH, Lund University. He holds an International Relations degree and an MSc in Environmental Management and Policy. Before joining academia, he worked for an NGO specialising in international security as a researcher and editor of the Security Index journal (published by Taylor & Francis, Routledge) and as a researcher and teacher, focusing on energy system transformation. His PhD project addresses the sustainability challenges of current production and consumption systems through the concept of the circular economy. This interdisciplinary research draws on environmental, innovation, socio-technical transition, and critical security studies. Eugène explores the interlinks between circular economy transformation and security, deconstructing security discourse around circular policies to identify the effects of security concerns on the political approach to circularity and the broad security and geopolitical implications of these policies. 

From 2021 to 2024, Eugène worked as a course co-director for FMIF20/TFRF56 Environmental Issues (7.5 ECTS credits) at the LTH. During spring 2025, he supervises a Master project on circular solutions addressing resource security issues in lithium-ion batteries.
