I am a political scientist and comparativist, specialised in voting behaviour, far-right politics and climate politics in Europe. I am an Assistant Professor in Political Behaviour at the University of Essex.

 

I hold a PhD in Political Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) where I investigated how local context shapes voting preferences for the radical right in European countries.

 

Starting in 2026, I will lead a five-year ERC Starting Grant examining how climate policies generate place-based economic and symbolic losses that foster anti-climate attitudes and radical right voting in carbon-intensive communities. Over the coming year(s), I will be advertising PhD, RA and postdoc positions so feel free to contact me.

 

My thesis won an honourable mention for the Ernst B. Haas Dissertation Prize for the best dissertation on European Politics from the European Politics and Society section of APSA. My first article is published in the European Journal of Political Research. My second article is published in Comparative Political Studies. My third article is recently published in Party Politics.

Previously, I earned a distinction Dual MSc degree in European Politics from Sciences Po, Paris and LSE and a Higher Distinction BA in International Politics from King’s College, London.
