I am an author and a political scientist focusing on international political economy and international relations. My research primarily focuses on the politics of international trade, the role of international institutions, such as the European Union and the World Trade Organization, as well the role of multinational companies in global economic governance.

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of St. Gallen and previously served as post-doctoral fellow and researcher in several institutions across Europe, including ETH Zurich, the World Trade Institute, and the European University Institute (EUI). I obtained my PhD from the University of Antwerp in Belgium.

I previously carried out my own Marie-Curie project titled PROSPER (Politics of Rule-making Orchestration of Standards and Private Economic Regulations) at the World Trade Institute, and served as a Guest Lecturer at the IE University in Spain, as well as a Max Weber Fellow at the EUI. Amongst others, my previous work has been published by International Organization, Review of International Organizations, Journal of Common Market Studies, European Union Politics, and the World Trade Review. 

My current project RESHORE aims to understand European businesses’ responses to geopolitical dynamics and their political behavior regarding relocating their production away from China. It has been awarded SNF Starting Grant and hosted in St. Gallen University’s Institute of Political Science.
