About

I am a Research Fellow at the MZES, University of Mannheim. I am also a Co-PI of the research project Democratic Values of Immigrants from Authoritarian Regimes funded by the BMFSFJ.

I completed my PhD in Political Science in the Research Training Group DYNAMICS and the Hertie School in Berlin. From April 2022 to June 2022, I was visiting the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the EUI. Previously, I completed my MA in Political Science and my BA in Media and Communication Studies and Political Science at the University of Zurich.

My research interests focus on migration, (comparative) political behaviour, causal inference and experimental methods. In my dissertation, which was supervised by Mark A. Kayser, I have worked mainly on the determinants of political behaviour of immigrants, where I was particularly interested in how characteristics of the regime in the country of origin influence behaviour in the host country. Besides working on effects of socialisation processes in authoritarian regimes, I am also interested in misperceptions surrounding the topic of migration and their effects on attitudes and behaviour.
