About Me
I am a Reader (Associate Professor) at the Department of Government and Public Policy at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland). I moved to Glasgow in summer 2015 after serving as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the SFB 884 Collaborative Research Center on the "Political Economy of Reforms" at the University of Mannheim (Mannheim, Germany). I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Iowa where I studied comparative politics, political institutions and quantitative methods.
My research and teaching interests include comparative politics, intra-party politics, parties and elections, legislative behavior, public policy, and European Politics using interdisciplinary computational social science approaches. My research links the disagreements and dynamics that occur with political parties to their election strategies, government formation and the policy-making process.
As PI of the GIC funded ParliView project with PIs James Cross and Derek Greene at University College Dublin, I am currently developing reserach on the impact of AI on perpetuation political bias and perceptions of AI. Our novel transparency platform ParliView.eu will be available to examine the inner workings of the European Parliament from Spring 2026.
As Co-PI of the Norface network funded EUINACTION project with Nikoleta Yordanova and Goran Glavas, we examined the impact of domestic national politics and preferences on the policy-making competencies of the European Union institutions leading to the publication of the ParlEE dataset including a substantial text dataset of actors issue priorities from 28 parliaments.
