About me

I am a political scientist specializing in the political economy of identity, conflict and religion. I am Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University, visiting the University of Konstanz for the summer. In September, I will join the European University Institute as a Max Weber Fellow. I earned my PhD in 2024 in the International Conflict Research group at ETH Zurich in 2024. In 2022, I was a visiting researcher at the Institute for Eastern European and Eurasian Studies at UC Berkeley.

My dissertation studied how border change contributed to shape ethnolinguistic behavior in Europe between 1816 and 1938. My other projects study the drivers of political violence, religious clientelism, and public opinion. I combine spatially explicit observational data and computational methods to study politics in new settings and with innovative research designs.
