I'm a political theorist. My main normative interest is in the question if and how states can legitimately exclude non-citizens from territory and membership. But I am also interested in other things migration, the ethical and political implications of tampering with socially salient concepts to achieve partisan political ends, and feminist and socialist political thought. My research has appeared in venues such as American Political Science Review, European Journal of Political Theory, Comparative Migration Studies and European Journal of Philosophy.

I defended my PhD thesis in Political Theory at the European University Institute (EUI) in October 2023. Before coming to EUI, I took a BA in Politics & Law from the University of Munich and a MSc in Political Theory from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

As of September 2023, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the research group "Transformations of Citizenship" at Normative Orders, Goethe-University Frankfurt. While at EUI, I was a research associate in the project "The Ethics of Migration Policy Dilemmas", which I continue to co-coordinate.
