About me

Hello! I am an applied economist at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), where I serve as a postdoctoral researcher and visiting professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences & Solvay Business School. My research examines political polarisation, populism and democratic representation, alongside an emerging agenda on the political economy of AI, technological change and societal transformation. I combine econometric analysis with computational social science methods to study society and its institutions at the intersection of politics and economics.

In addition to my research activities, I have served as a teaching assistant for Microeconomics and Public Choice courses. Additionally, I have supervised several bachelor’s theses and oversaw research projects for the course “Research Methods in Economics and Management.” In these roles, I like to assign tasks to students that prompt them to explore the social, political, and cultural aspects of the economy. Feedback from students has been particularly positive about being challenged to explore unfamiliar topics and perspectives.
