I am a DPhil student in Politics (Comparative Government) focusing on the political economy of subnational government, examining inter-governmental arrangements and their implications on political and economic outcomes. It also concerns a cross-national comparison of fiscally centralised states, namely the UK, France, and China. I employ quantitative methods of causal inference and game theory, whereas my theoretic framework is intrinsically comparativist and historical institutionalist.

I am a DPhil student in Politics at St Peter's College, University of Oxford.

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.

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.
