Comparative perspective
I am drawn to cross-country comparison, especially when it reveals how similar institutions can produce different political outcomes.
About
I am currently working in the Public Policy and Internet Governance department at RIPE NCC, while continuing to build on a background in political science, comparative politics, and policy-oriented research.
My academic work combines quantitative and qualitative methods to understand how political systems function across contexts. I am especially interested in the relationship between domestic political structures and international outcomes, and in how ideology, identity, and institutional arrangements shape political behavior.
Beyond the classroom, I have worked in policy-oriented and multi-stakeholder settings, contributing to projects that required both research depth and clarity of communication. I value analysis that is rigorous, but also legible to people outside a narrow academic niche.
At RIPE NCC, I contribute to research and internal policy work related to public policy, digital governance, and engagement with governments and regulators. That experience has strengthened my interest in how political decisions are shaped not only by ideas and institutions, but also by negotiation, technical expertise, and multi-stakeholder processes.
I am drawn to cross-country comparison, especially when it reveals how similar institutions can produce different political outcomes.
My background includes quantitative analysis, survey-based research, regression modeling, and the interpretation of political data.
I care about turning complex political questions into arguments that are clear, structured, and useful beyond academia.
Comparative politics, democratic resilience, party systems, political cleavages, foreign policy, and the links between internal social divisions and external political positioning.
