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 between comparative politics, conflict studies, political communication and applied data science. More specifically, I mainly study the use and impact of digital technologies such as online censorship and propaganda with a specific focus on authoritarian regimes. More recently, I have increasingly become interested in studying to what extent these and other authoritarian strategies are also used in democracies.

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.
