Data

Hi.

 

I am a researcher at Our World in Data, where I work on human rights, democracy, armed conflict, and violence. You can find an overview of my work here.

 

I also conduct research in political economy and comparative politics, with an emphasis on how the ideology and identity of political leaders affects redistributive policies and political institutions. Read more about my research here.

 

My research uses original data on the ideology of chief executives and the identity of coup leaders around the globe. Find more information about the data here.

​

I have taught courses in political economy, comparative politics, and political methodology. Read more about my teaching here.

​

I am an Honorary Researcher at the Oxford Martin School and hold a Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago, and a Master's degree in Political Science and Economics from Heidelberg University, Germany.
