I am a Lecturer in the Department of Government at the University of Essex and External Fellow at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research. Before coming to Essex, I worked at the University of Mannheim (2017-2018) and the European Politics group of ETH Zurich (2010-2016). I spent Fall 2015 as a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University.
My research focuses on challenges to legitimate and democratic governance in the times of European integration, globalization, and technological change. Recent projects address the following research questions:
- What explains variation in national parliamentary oversight institutions in the EU?
- What explains differentiation in European integration?
- What explains the spread of parliamentary institutions in international organizations?
- Who participates in multistakeholder internet governance?
