About Me

I am an assistant professor (lecturer) in the Department of Political Economy at King's College London and a guest researcher in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Bern. I received my PhD in 2018 from the European University Institute. My research focuses on comparative politics and political economy. I am particularly interested in political and intergroup conflict.
