Hello and Welcome!

---

I am an MSCA postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oslo and a visiting scholar at Uppsala University. I received my Ph.D. in Social and Political Science from the European University Institute in May 2020.

My research interests include elite politics, authoritarianism, indoctrination, business power, regime change, and other fascinating topics in comparative politics and political economy.

My largest project focuses on divisions within the ruling elite in electoral autocracies -dictatorships that hold multiparty elections. It provides a novel theory, data, and research to explain the strains and disruptions within authoritarian governments as well as defectors’ contribution to regime change.

While I am writing my book manuscript on elite defections in electoral autocracies, I participate in two ERC-funded projects on education and politics.
