I am a Research Associate at the Center for Crisis Early Warning at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, and a member of the Research School on Peace & Conflict at the Peace Research Institute Oslo. I was a Visiting Research Fellow in the Patterns of Conflict Emergence (PaCE) project at Trinity College Dublin between February and June 2025. I earned my PhD from the Department of Political Science at Trinity College Dublin. In addition, I hold a B.A. and M.A. in Political Science from the University of Mannheim and an M.A. in International Relations (Research Track) from the University of Nottingham.

My research interests are explaining and predicting political violence and instability such as violent and nonviolent conflict within and between states. Methodologically, I am interested in forecasting, causal inference, computational social science, and spatial analyses. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, the Journal of Peace Research, International Studies Quarterly, and International Interactions.
