Hi, and welcome to my site. I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University, Denmark. I am currently working on a project on moralizing political rhetoric and its consequences for mobilization and societal polarization.

Before that, I was a PhD Researcher at the European University Institute in Florence, researching the communication of political parties and their strategic use of emotional language in my doctoral dissertation.

In my research, I touch on many areas such as Political Communication, Political Behavior, and Social and Political Psychology. Methodologically, my main focus lies on Text-as-Data: I develop and train many different tools for computational text analysis. My work has been published in The Journal of Politics, Political Analysis, Political Behavior, among others.

In 2023, I was a research fellow at the Hertie School Data Science Lab. For my research visit at the Political Science Department at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, I was awarded with the Fulbright Schuman Scholarship. Furthermore, the first paper of my dissertation was awarded with the annual Rudolf Wildenmann Prize, given to an outstanding paper presented at the ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops. Learn more about my research below, under ‘Publications’. You can download my CV here.
