Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Potsdam, working on the ENSURED project, which examines how the EU can support more democratic, effective, and robust global governance.

I study international relations, specializing in international organizations and international political economy. My current research agenda focuses on three themes: (1) the design and effectiveness of global governance, particularly regarding human rights and gender; (2) women’s leadership in trade and economic governance; and (3) the dynamics of trade relationships and their implications for international cooperation, which I examine through network analysis.

Methodologically, I primarily use quantitative approaches, including advanced computational techniques such as social network analysis and text-as-data, while also incorporating qualitative methods, such as interviews.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Michigan State University.
