I am a postdoctoral researcher on the ‘Cohesion and Deliberative Decision-Making’ project, funded by the Open Society Foundations, at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Hamburg University in June 2024, as a member of the DFG-funded PPE graduate program ‘Collective Decision-Making’.
My research sits at the intersections of democratic theory, constitutional law and formal political theory. My work examines how core democratic values of equality and autonomy should shape institutional design, exploring both the theoretical foundations of these democratic values and their institutional applications through empirically-informed analysis of the design and legal regulation of electoral and party systems.
My work has appeared or is forthcoming in Critical Review of Social and Political Philosophy, Res Publica, Moral Philosophy and Politics, German Law Journal, Utrecht Law Review and Nederlands Juristenblad.
