Thank you for your visit! I am an assistant professor of political science at IE University. I earned my PhD at the European University Institute in July 2021. Before joining IE, I was a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Politics at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, where I remain affiliated as an associate member.
I study what citizens think is acceptable to do in a democracy, why that is, and how it changes.
​​
My first book, "The Normalization of the Radical Right: A Norms Theory of Political Supply and Demand" came out with Oxford University Press in 2024, as part of the Oxford Studies in Democratization Series. It won the Robert A. Dahl Award and the Democracy & Autocracy best book award, both from APSA. It was also listed as one of the books of the year by the Financial Times and by Piedras de Papel.
​​
My articles have been published in The Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, and British Journal of Political Science, among other journals. They have been awarded the 2024 Joseph L. Bernd Award for best article in the JOP, the Lawrence Longley best article award from APSA's Representation and Electoral Systems section, and the Klingemann Prize for best CSES scholarship.
​
I am the recipient of the 2025 A.SK Bright Mind Award, of the 2025 CES Moyer Young Scholar Award, of the 2025 Distinguished Scholar Award from APSA's Political Psychology section, and of the 2022 Jean Blondel Best Thesis Prize, among other honors.
​
My work has been discussed in media outlets like the Financial Times, the Guardian, or CNN.
