Welcome!
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) in Hamburg.

My research looks at how regimes produce loyalty, repression, and security. I want to understand how the state’s security apparatus works internally, why officials behave the way they do, and what effects it has on society. My work sits at the intersection of authoritarian politics, political violence, and civil-military relations, cutting across the fields of international relations and comparative politics.

I hold a PhD from the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences at the University of Mannheim, where I also worked in the ERC funded Project Repression and the Escalation of Political Violence (RATE).

My research has been published in the American Journal of Political Science, European Journal of International Relations, International Studies Quarterly, and the Journal of Peace Research, among others. For my work I have received the NEPS
Stuart A. Bremer Award, the ISA Dina Zinnes Award, and the Young Scholar Award of the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences at the University of Mannheim.
