I am an Assistant Professor in European Political Economy at the University of Amsterdam. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Political Behavior at Humboldt University of Berlin. I received my PhD in Political Economy at King's College London. I am also affiliated with Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES) and Humboldt-Governance Lab.

My interdisciplinary research focuses on political behavior and political economy, with a particular emphasis on preference and policy formation and reversals, transboundary crises, and political engagement. I examine how policymakers and citizens respond to economic and political challenges in the EU, particularly in the context of transboundary crises. I study how preferences shift on multilayered policy issues, how support for complex policies forms, and where elite–citizen misalignments emerge.
