Biography

I am a PhD candidate at the the Institute for Social and Political Opinion Research (ISPO), KU Leuven, Belgium. My PhD is on political radicalism and belief systems, views on Western society, conditionality of liberal values, and polarisation.

More generally, my research interests are mostly within the filed of voting behaviour, party finance, and political communication. Methods wise, I am particularly interested in conjoint analysis, matching techniques graphical causal models, machine learning algorithms, text analysis, and big data.

I am a member of the survey and experimental teams of Team Populism, a research group that brings together renowned scholars from Europe and the Americas to study the causes and consequences of populism.

Concerning the private sector, I am an currently external consultant and analyst for ZK Analytics and for the European Consortium for Political Research (Methods Schools).

I love cooking, films, games, reading about tech stuff, and programming. Huge Linux/Unix fan boy.
