I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science at LSE, supervised by Sara Hobolt and Florian Foos. Previously, I completed an MSc in Politics Research at Oxford.
I study democratic resilience in the face of populism and political polarisation — how institutions and political actors respond, and whether their responses are effective. 

My research examines party strategies, political misinformation, and how the design and communication of contested policies shapes public support in polarised societies. 
To answer these questions, I use causal inference designs, survey experiments, and computational text analysis.
