About
I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences (GESS) at the University of Mannheim and a research associate at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES). My substantial research focuses on coalition politics and electoral behavior, where I am especially interested in pre-electoral coalition politics and how it affects electoral behavior. I am also interested in quantitative and computational methods, particularly in agent-based models which I utilize, e.g., in order to study party competition as well as opinion dynamics.
