Thank you for visiting my website! I am a researcher at the European University Institute, where I recently received my PhD in Political Science. In September 2026, I will join Nuffield College, University of Oxford, as a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Politics.

I am broadly interested in comparative politics and political behavior. My current research focuses on two main questions:

1) How can political elites influence the policy preferences and behaviors of ordinary people?

2) How can we (as social and behavioral scientists) enhance political participation in democratic societies?

Methodologically, my main expertise lies in the areas of survey research, experiments, and causal inference with observational data. Beyond my own empirical work, I actively develop methods and tools to improve the robustness of social-scientific research.

I have published articles in academic journals like Comparative Political Studies, British Journal of Political Science, Political Science Research and Methods, and European Journal of Political Research, among others. My research has been covered by news outlets such as The Guardian and Financial Times.

Being a quantitative social scientist, I also identify as a member of the broader open science community. In this capacity, I am a frequent contributor to various interdisciplinary big-team collaborations on the topics of metascience and replicability, some of which have been published in journals like Nature, Royal Society Open Science, and Journal of Open Psychology Data.
