I am a political scientist and SNSF-Ambizione fellow at the KPM Center for Public Management at the University of Bern. My current project focuses on the causes and consequences of municipal mergers in Switzerland.
Previously, I was a senior researcher and coordinator of a project on urban elites in Switzerland at the Institute of Political Studies at the University of Lausanne, a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Democracy and Public Governance at the University of Zurich and doctoral researcher in the NCCR research program “Challenges to Democracy in the 21st Century.”
I hold a PhD in political science from the University of Zurich and have been a visiting researcher at the Universities of Mannheim, British Columbia, and Roskilde.
