I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the European University Institute. I am part of the ERC-funded Project POSTNORM (“Post-Authoritarian Norms and the Ideological Legacy of. Dictatorships”), led by Prof. Elias Dinas.
A significant part of my research focuses on discriminatory behavior, its drivers and implications. In this context, I explore topics such as the causes of prejudice against minorities and its impact on their political behavior, the effectiveness and unintended consequences of affirmative policies, and theoretical accounts of discrimination.
Expanding on this, within the framework of the POSTNORM project, I study how historical events shape political preferences and individuals’ willingness to publicly express them.
I received my PhD in Economics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2022, and prior to that, studied economics at the University of Zurich.
