Hola, bienvenid@! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer at the University of Lucerne. Before that, I worked at the University of Potsdam in Berlin on the Powerful Polls Project. I completed my PhD in Political Science at the European University Institute (EUI) and was a Visiting Researcher at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center in the Transformations of Democracy unit. Before moving to Lucerne, I also lived in Berlin, Florence, New York, Madrid, and Toulouse and San Francisco.

Throughout my academic career, I have been interested in how identities shape political behavior. While my PhD research focused on the rural–urban divide, my broader work extends to gender inequality, labor market dynamics, and migration. Currently, I am a member of several ongoing research projects: GENPOL IV, Conspirators, DECODE and HOMES.
