I am a postdoc at the University of Southampton (Department of Politics) and a visiting fellow at LSE (European Institute), working at the intersection of empirical political science and normative political theory. In my research, I specialise in the comparative study of political participation and institutional design in Europe, and I have a strong interest in the European Union; my first article on the role of democratic innovations in the EU has been published in the Journal of European Public Policy. See my CV for further details on my background.
My doctoral research at LSE has been funded by an LSE studentship, a fieldwork scholarship from UACES, and a project grant from the Otto Brenner Foundation.
During my graduate studies in Europe and the United States, I have taught seminars on these subjects at LSE, in Frankfurt, and Hamburg. Besides, I am a mentor at the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation. Please get in touch about collaborations, ideas, and questions!
