I am a doctoral researcher in the Higher Education and Democratic Resilience Programme, a joint initiative of Oxford’s Centre for Democratic Resilience, Bucerius Law School, and Verfassungsblog. My research explores the instrumentalisation of law in processes of democratic backsliding, with a focus on anticipating legal vulnerabilities, corresponding authoritarian strategies, and sources of democratic resilience.

I am a DPhil Politics Student at the Department of Politics and International Relations, under the supervision of Professor Jane Green. In my doctoral studies, I aim to examine potential measures to increase political representation of young individuals in democracies and ultimately enhance intergenerational justice.

Prior to the DPhil, I studied Psychology (BSc) and Sociology (BA) at University of Innsbruck and continued my Sociology studies (MSc) at University of Oxford. Most recently, I worked at Boston Consulting Group.
