Welcome!

I currently serve as Interim Chair (visiting professor) of Comparative Politics at Humboldt University Berlin. 

My main research interest lies in the political economy of inequality, redistribution, and development, whereby I draw on comparative as well as behavioral approaches. My work has among others been published in Political Science Research and Methods, Social Science Research, and World Development.

I received a PhD in Political Science from Central European University and served as Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Bremen (SOCIUM Research Center) and Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Bard College Berlin.  I have also worked with and for international development organizations, including the German Institute of Development and Sustainability, the Institute of Development Studies, and the German International Cooperation.
