Welcome
I am an Assistant Professor in European Political Economy at the University of Amsterdam. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Political Behavior at Humboldt University of Berlin. I received my PhD in Political Economy at King's College London.
I am also affiliated with Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES) and Humboldt-Governance Lab. My interdisciplinary research focuses on issues related to political behavior and political economy with a special focus on preference formation and reversals, transboundary crises, and political engagement.
