Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University. I study comparative politics and political economy. I am interested in the politics of growth and inequality, political agency, and how ideas may help overcome interest gridlocks. Much of my work draws on unstructured text, surveys, and administrative data.

At Harvard, I am affiliated with the Institute for Quantitative Social Science, the Center for American Political Studies, and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. I am advised by Daniel Ziblatt, Torben Iversen, and Jesse Shapiro.

I have taught courses in comparative politics, quantitative methods, and game theory at the University of Copenhagen and Harvard University. I currently advise senior honors theses at Harvard.

In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing tennis and hosting dinners. I hold three passports, and I used one of them to become the second-best handball goalkeeper on the second-worst team in the world. If you want to play tennis, discuss research, or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out!
