I’m a political scientist and freelance policy and data analyst, currently also teaching classes at the Central European University (Vienna). As a researcher, my main interests relate to the European Union, specifically its judicial and environmental politics. I work with whatever methods are most promising for any given puzzle, including qualitative (QCA, process-tracing) and quantitative (surveys, regression analysis), although I have a penchant for computational approaches. When not working, I can be spotted outdoors, hiking, running, watching birds, or spending time with my kid.

I have worked at the University of Vienna’s Centre for European Integration Research, the Danube University Krems, the University of Innsbruck, the University of Bremen, and the Jacobs University Bremen. I graduated with a PhD in political science from the Bremen Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) on EU environmental politics under the constraints of joint-decision making. The resulting book “The EU’s Green Dynamism” was published with ECPR Press/Rowman & Littlefield.

I also rolled pretty good vegan maki in Montréal.
