Welcome to my website!

​I am a Senior Lecturer at the School of Politics & International Relations at the Australian National University. I am also a faculty affiliate at the Centre for European Studies and Australian Centre for Federalism. My research focuses on democratisation, comparative political institutions (parties, constitutions, elections), and executive-legislative relations. I received my PhD in Political Science in 2011 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and from 2011-2014 I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford.

​My main research project investigates the political determinants and consequences of post-election disputes. In parallel, I am also engaged in a number of collaborative projects. Please see my research page for more information.
