About

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Geneva and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MZES, University of Mannheim. I completed my PhD in Political Science in the Research Training Group DYNAMICS and the Hertie School in Berlin.

My research interests focus on migration, comparative politics and political behaviour using quasi-experimental and experimental methods. Most of my research addresses a central question for contemporary democracies: What shapes attitudes and political behaviour in times of diversity? More precisely, my research seeks to 1) understand the dynamics of the political behaviour of immigrants with a particular focus on socialisation and cultural transmission and 2) the political behaviour of the broader public - often, but not exclusively, through the lens of immigration. Some of my work is published in Political Science Research and Methods and Electoral Studies.
