About me

I am a PhD student at Stockholm University's Department of Sociology, specializing in the fields of Political Science and Political Sociology. Prior to returning to Stockholm, I completed two Master's degrees in Political Science and Current Democracies from Ludwig-Maximilian Universität (LMU) in Munich and Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona. I also hold Bachelor's degrees in History and Political Science from Uppsala University.

I have been visiting student at the European University Institute in Florence and the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University. Furthermore, I have worked at Linköping University, the Barcelona Centre for European Studies, and LMU. 

Research

I work in the field of political science and political sociology, with a particular focus on political behavior and spatial electoral patterns. My dissertation project examines the influence of historical institutions on contemporary political behavior, aiming to contribute to our understanding of how past events shape current political dynamics. In addition to my dissertation, I have conducted research on inter-municipal cooperation, environmental and energy politics, and rural-urban polarization.

 

Research interests

Comparative politics, political economy, environmental politics, quantitative methods, and political sociology with a particular interest for historical political economy.
