About

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science. Previously, I completed my PhD at the University of Münster, Germany working on the social legitimacy of International Organizations.

Research

My research focuses on attitudes towards institutionalized forms of international cooperation. I mainly use experimental methods to investigate the psychological mechanisms behind political behavior.

I have worked on the legitimacy of the UN and IOs and general and on attitudes towards the EU. Furthermore, I am interested in citizens' understanding of international trade and climate agreements.
