I am a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University, where I work on the project Advertising Democracy. My research focuses on political disagreement and its democratic resolution — explaining political complexity through belief systems and the interdependence among attitudes, to address some of today’s most pressing issues. I am committed to promoting constructive, peaceful politics and countering democratic backsliding, with a focus on Western democracies including those of Central and Eastern Europe.

I am married with one child. Outside of work I enjoy hiking, cycling, camping, and occasionally playing the violin. If you share any of my interests, feel free to reach out — I am particularly open to junior scholars from underrepresented groups and regions.
