I am assistant professor/postdoctoral fellow in the Emergence, Life, and Demise of Autocratic Regimes (ELDAR) project at the University of Oslo and a non-resident fellow at the Digital Democracy Lab as part of the Digital Society Initiative at the University of Zurich.

I work at the intersection of comparative politics, conflict studies, political communication and applied data science. More specifically, I study the use and impact of digital technologies such as online censorship and propaganda with an emphasis on authoritarian regimes. More recently, I have become increasingly interested in how these and other authoritarian strategies are used in democracies too.

My research has been published in the European Journal of Political Research, British Journal of Political Science, Political Science Research and Methods, the Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Journal of Peace Research, among others.

In 2025, my co-authors Adrian Del Río, Carl Henrik Knutsen, and I, were awarded with the 2025 Lijphart/Przeworski/Verba Best Dataset Honorable Mention by APSA’s Comparative Politics Section.
