I am a Senior Researcher and SNSF Ambizione Grant Holder in the Department of Political Science at the University of Zurich. I earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My research focuses broadly on political parties and party systems, public opinion, and democratic representation.
I currently lead a multi-year project (2024-2028) on the consequences of multidimensional polarization for democracy in Europe. My research has been published in the British Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, and the European Journal of Political Research, among others.
