I am an Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the Department of Social Sciences at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Spain. My work lies at the intersection of politics and forced migration, particularly focusing on migration diplomacy and refugee commodification through international relations, everyday politics of forced migration with a focus on political behaviour and attitudes, and anti-immigrant political parties in the Global South.

Before joining UC3M, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher within Global Politics and Security Programme at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI). I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, my MA in International Affairs from the George Washington University, Washington, DC, and my BA in Political Science and International Relations from Bogaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey.
