Thank you for your visit!

I am currently pursuing my PhD in Comparative Politics at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon. I have undertaken research periods at the European University Institute in Florence and the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid.

My thesis leverages observational and experimental data to examine how intra-party cohesion (or lack thereof) relates to political behavior. In addition to my focus on political parties, political representation, elections, and political attitudes and behavior, I have a broad interest in the role of youth in politics. My work has been published, inter alia, in West European Politics, International Political Science Review, and Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties.

Here you can find more about me, my research, access some teaching materials and view my short CV.
