Welcome! I am a Senior Data Scientist at NATO's Joint Force Command Brunssum. I am also an Research Affiliate at the Department of Social Sciences and Public Affairs at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. Previously, I was an academic with appointments at the Computational Social Science Department of GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences and at ASCoR (University of Amsterdam). From 2023 to 2024, I served as data editor at the journal Political Communication. I received my PhD in political science from the European University Institute (Florence), visiting the Data Science Lab at Hertie School (Berlin) and the psychology department of New York University. Previous studies brought me to the University of Oxford, Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne and Universität Bayreuth. Before my PhD, I worked for the tech startup Opinary and wrote on politics and culture as a freelance journalist.
