About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna. I research how political institutions and norms influence group identities, such as partisanship and gender, through the lenses of affective polarization and group representation. Beyond this, I study how citizens form opinions on contentious or complex issues —like political scandals or drug regulation— and how biases constrain democratic accountability. To address these questions, I primarily use surveys, survey experiments, and causal inference methods for observational data. When out of office, I am a serious hobby cyclist, and a nature and animal enthusiast.
