Personal profile

Research

Main research or teaching areas

  1. Comparative politics
  2. Political parties and governments
  3. Political behavior and political psychology

Current research and teaching

Much of my research focuses on political parties and coalition politics in Western European parliamentary democracies, focusing on topics such as coalition formation, policy-making in multiparty governments, and legislative behavior. For example, I am currently using large language models to analyze parliamentary debates. I also do research on political behavior/political psychology, focusing mainly on explaining political polarization, political attitudes, voter behavior and radicalization. For example some of my current research focuses on the polarization of gender equality attitudes and attitudes on climate change in the electorate. 

I teach comparative politics, political psychology and research methods.
