Welcome! I am a senior researcher at the University of Zurich’s Department of Political Science. I am on leave for the academic year 2025–26 and currently at the European University Institute in Florence as an EUI Transnational Fellow.
My research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, political sociology, and political economy. I study how economic and social transformations in post-industrial knowledge societies relate to long-term changes in political conflicts and party systems.
I am particularly interested in how voters perceive and interpret their place in a changing economy and society, and what this implies for the dynamics of political conflict in advanced democracies.
