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 obtained my PhD from the University of Antwerp in Belgium and previously received my MSc from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I currently work as a Post-doctoral Fellow at ETH Zurich at the Centre for Comparative and International Studies and also conduct research as a Visiting Fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute (EUI).

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, Global Policy, and the World Trade Review. 

My upcoming 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 will be hosted in St. Gallen University’s Institute of Political Science.
