Thank you for your visit! I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in Political Science at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence. In the 2024-2025 academic year, I will start a Postdoctoral position at Stanford’s Polarization and Social Change Lab, where I am currently a Research Fellow. I received a Ph.D. in Political Science at the EUI in 2023. Before starting my Ph.D., I was a Master’s student in Politics and Sociology at the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics, and completed my Bachelor’s in Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. During the 2021-2022 academic year, I was a visiting scholar at New York University and Stanford University.
My research focuses on the politics and societies of advanced democracies and lies at the intersection of comparative politics and political behaviour. Two questions define my research agenda: 1) What are the origins of political divisions? And 2) how can democracy be strengthened by re-engaging voters and bridging political divides? I answer these questions leveraging quantitative scientific methods. I am exploring both these topics using a selection of methods that employ an experimental logic, specifically (field) experiments and methods of causal inference. My research has been published or is forthcoming at the PNAS, American Political Science Review, and the Journal of Politics, among other outlets. You can read more about my research here.
