I am a Political Scientist specializing in quantitative analyses of survey and textual data. My research focuses on party competition and strategic issue emphasis, with experience in electoral behaviour, group-based appeals, and democratic norms. In my dissertation, I examine how political parties emphasize climate change in parliamentary debates, applying text-as-data methods to speeches from 27 European countries.

I am a student at the Mannheim Graduate School of Social Sciences (GESS), affiliated with the Mannheimer Zentrum für Europäische Sozialforschung (MZES), and a lecturer at the University of Mannheim, teaching courses on hierarchical statistical analysis in Stata and R, as well as substantial courses on climate change attitudes and political participation.

My work has been published in Electoral Studies and Politische Vierteljahresschrift, with additional manuscripts under review. I have reviewed for Party Politics, Political Research Exchange, Political Research Quarterly and Politische Vierteljahresschrift, and I have developed two R software packages published on CRAN.
