**Presentation**
My research focuses on the social history of Tibet in the 19th and 20th centuries, the history of the political institutions of the Ganden Phodrang government (1642-1959) and the history of its army.
I have worked on the Tibetan nobility (my thesis defended in 2009 was a prosopography of the aristocratic lay officials of the Ganden Phodrang administration alowing the analysis of their marriage strategies and careers, leading to a social history of the Tibetan government) and on the intermediate elites in central Tibet at the beginning of the 20th century, in the framework of two successive French-German (ANR-DFG) research projects (« SHTS » and « TibStat » between 2012 and 2021).
This work led me to the history of the Tibetan army (1642-1959), in which many of these lay aristocratic and intermediate elites served. In the framework of an ERC-funded research project (TibArmy, https://tibarmy.hypotheses.org/, starting grant, 2016-2023), I coordinate various collective thematic axes (influences and interactions of the Tibetan army with neighbouring asian military cultures; the relationship between the army and Buddhism; lexicography; visual history) and study particularly the social history of the Tibetan army.

**Présentation**
Mes recherches portent sur l’histoire sociale du Tibet aux XIXe et XXe siècles, sur l’histoire des institutions politiques du gouvernement des Dalaï-lamas, le Ganden Phodrang (1642-1959), et sur l'histoire de son armée.
J’ai travaillé sur la noblesse tibétaine (ma thèse, soutenue en 2009, était une prosopographie des fonctionnaires nobles de l’administration du Ganden Phodrang permettant l’analyse des stratégies matrimoniales et des carrières de de cette élite laïque), puis sur les élites intermédiaires dans le Tibet central du début du XXe siècle, au sein de deux projets de recherche franco-allemands (ANR-DFG) successifs (projets « SHTS » et « TibStat » entre 2012 et 2021).
Ces travaux m’ont conduite vers l’histoire de l’armée tibétaine du Ganden Phodrang (1642-1959), dans laquelle servaient nombre de ces élites. Dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche financé par l’ERC (TibArmy, https://tibarmy.hypotheses.org/, starting grant, 2016-2023), je coordonne différents axes thématiques collectifs (influences et interactions de l’armée tibétaine avec les cultures militaires asiatiques voisines, relation entre armée et bouddhisme, lexicographie, histoire visuelle) et m’intéresse en particulier à l’histoire sociale de l’armée tibétaine.
