I am currently a post-doc (LSE Fellow) at the Department of Methodology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. From September 2024 onwards, I will be an Assistant Professor in Computational Social Science at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom. In my research, I am investigating political and electoral behaviour in advanced economies. Furthermore, in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, I study the economics and politics of climate change. As a quantitative scholar, I mainly use causal inference and machine learning methods. Beyond my research, I have been teaching graduate (MSc and PhD) and undergraduate courses on causal inference, quantitative research methods, regression analysis, data analysis, computational programming, data science, machine learning as well as social policy and political economy. I hold a PhD from Oxford, a master's degree from LSE, and a bachelor's degree from Zeppelin University (with a semester abroad at Columbia).
