I am a Senior Researcher at the new Max Planck Institute for the social sciences in Göttingen (name pending), where I head the research area on “Social and Political Conflicts”. I also coordinate the DFG Research Network “Qualitative Studies of Public Opinion: Understanding the Crises of Democratic Politics” (with Lena Röllicke and Anna Berg).

Until December 2025, I worked as a postdoc at Humboldt University Berlin, in the DFG-funded project “New Inequalities, New Cleavages? A Political Sociology of Contemporary Society” headed by Steffen Mau. Before, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Political Science at the University of Zurich and a visiting researcher at the International Inequalities Institute at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

I received my PhD from Scuola Normale Superiore in Florence in 2022. For my BA and MA, I studied Sociology, Political Science, and Philosophy at Humboldt University Berlin, King’s College London, and the École Normale Supérieure in Cachan.

In 2024, the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel selected me for their list of the Year’s Top 100 Scientists. In 2022, my dissertation was shortlisted for the Deutscher Studienpreis awarded by Koerber Foundation. In 2021, I was granted a Swiss Government Excellence Fellowship. During my undergraduate studies, I received a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes.
