Hi there! I'm a PhD Candidate in Social and Political Science at Bocconi University in Milan. I'm currently working remotely from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. During the 2023/24 academic year, I was a visiting PhD student at Princeton University and the London School of Economics.

My research focuses on political behavior and public opinion in Western Europe, and sometimes beyond. Most of my current work examines the consequences of far-right parties and politicians' increased visibility and success. In my dissertation I show that far-right success can lead to more hostility toward minorities and rule-breaking in parliament.

In other work, I study changing party electorates in Western Europe. I am also interested in identifying and compiling less conventional (parliamentary) data. For example: I have assembled a new speech-per-row dataset with close to 800,000 speeches from parliamentary committee debates in the Netherlands. My research has been published in the British Journal of Political Science.
