Research Interests

My main research interest lies in the intersection between Political Behaviour, Comparative Politics, and quantitative methods.

My current research agenda includes:

  • Electoral politics, with an emphasis on European and Latin American politics
  • Elite politics: candidates and legislators from a comparative approach
  • Attitudes towards democracy, far-right politics, and populism

I am open to any questions about potential PhD supervision, just drop me an email.
