Welcome! I am a Doctoral Researcher in the Social and Political Sciences Department of the European University Institute (Firenze). This Fall, I’m visiting Yale University—feel free to reach out if you’d like to grab a coffee!

I study the emergence and development of political mobilization in 19th and 20th century Europe, focusing on how this is influenced by various social, political, and economic institutions, including political violence, religion, and repression.

Last year I led the Research Analytics Unit and co-organized the Comparative Politics Seminar Series at the EUI. Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Institutions and Political Economy Research Group - IPERG (University of Barcelona).
