Hi!

I have been a University Lecturer in World Politics at the University of Helsinki since October 2026. Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government of the University of Oxford. 

I research emotions and other psychological processes in politics and International Relations, especially in the context of the European Union. I am notably interested in everyday emotions at the micro level and emotional (collective) narratives at the macro level. I am also interested in psychoanalytical approaches to ontological security. My work has been published in International Affairs, the Review of International Studies, International Political Sociology, the Journal of Common Market Studies, the Journal of European Public Policy, Political Psychology, Politics, and the Hague Journal of Diplomacy. 

I hold a PhD in Politics and International Studies from the University of Warwick (2023) and an MSc in Political Science from the Université de Montréal. I am a co-convener of the Emotions in Politics and International Relations Working group of the British International Studies Association (BISA).
