I am a postdoctoral research fellow at SOCIUM, University of Bremen, affiliated with the Comparative Political Economy working group led by Lukas Haffert.
My research lies at the intersection of political economy and climate politics. I use qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the business politics of the green transition. In my book project building on my DPhil (PhD) thesis, I examine why some polluting firms lobby for rather than against ambitious climate policy.
I hold a DPhil in Public Policy (2026) from the University of Oxford, where I was a member of the Blavatnik School of Government and Nuffield College. Before starting my DPhil, I was a predoctoral research fellow at Humboldt University of Berlin, where I also completed my MA in Social Sciences (2022).
I held visiting positions at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies and Yale University.
