Hello there! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. My research sits at the intersection of comparative politics and political behavior and seeks to explain how voters and parties in advanced democracies mutually influence one another.  

In my dissertation, I argue that parties, like corporations, can 'rebrand,' not only through policy shifts but also through symbolic changes to their name and logo. This framework broadens the concept of rebranding to include symbolic attributes and demonstrates their substantive importance for parties. My work on this topic has been published in the European Journal of Political Research and Party Politics.

In my postdoctoral work, I am working with Peter Thisted Dinesen on the "E. Pluribus Plures" research project. In this project, we explore different dimensions of identity politics as well as its consequences across Western societies in terms of electoral outcomes, social trust, and social cohesion. 

Prior to joining UCPH, I received my PhD in political science from the University of Pittsburgh in 2023.
