About

I am a Lecturer in Comparative Politics at the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary University of London and proud father of a lovely daughter. Since March 2022 I have been serving as the Academic Convenor of the ECPR Methods School. I am also a member of the editorial board of SN Social Sciences and an associate Fellow of Advance HE. Previously, I have held positions at King’s College London, the University of Konstanz, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the University of Mannheim.

My main research interests are in the fields of Political Economy and Political Science. I focus on understanding the role of institutions and their impact on strategic interactions in politics, in particular regarding lobbying, legislative politics, as well as bargaining and political decision-making. I emphasize a strong connection of formal theory and empirical analysis. Methodologically, I am interested in network analysis and methods of causal inference.
