I am an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Governance at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg and a Research Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) in Hamburg.
I study social and political conflict dynamics from a comparative perspective. My current research projects focus on how the composition and behaviour of state, non-state and informal actors contribute to the risk of escalatory violence. My research has been published in Comparative Political Studies, the Journal of Peace Research and Conflict Management and Peace Science, among others. I hold a PhD from the University of Essex and I have previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Mannheim.
