Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Potsdam (Germany), where I work on the ENSURED project, funded by the European Union. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Michigan State University (USA) in 2025.

I study international relations with a focus on international organizations and international political economy. My current research agenda centers on three themes: (1) the design and effectiveness of global governance, particularly in the areas of human rights and gender; (2) women’s leadership in trade and economic governance; and (3) the politics of diplomatic and trade relationships and their implications for international cooperation, which I analyze using network analysis.

My research primarily employs quantitative methods, including social network analysis and text-as-data. I also draw on qualitative approaches, such as elite interviews and field research (e.g., UN Geneva).
