I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science of Ghent University. Previously, I was a FWO Postdoc at KU Leuven where I also obtained my PhD in the Social Sciences in 2016. I hold a Master’s degree in Comparative and International Politics from KU Leuven and a Bachelor’s degree in Politics and Public Administration from the University of Konstanz.

 My main research interests include political participation, political equality and political legitimacy. My work has been published in international peer-reviewed journals such as West European Politics, Local Government Studies, Social Science Research and Political Behavior.
