About

Hi! I am a political scientist and Postdoctoral Researcher at Goethe University Frankfurt and an Associate Fellow at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF).

My research examines how global governance is made in the “engine rooms” of international institutions. I study the everyday practices, organizational dynamics, and negotiation processes through which international organizations operate. In doing so, I seek to understand how these processes shape institutional outputs in times of rising geopolitical fractures.

My work is structured around three interconnected areas: individual agency and organizational change in international organizations, multilateral negotiations under conditions of global polarization, and the legitimacy and politicization of international institutions. Across these areas, I combine insights from international relations and political sociology with empirical analyses in the fields of peacekeeping, global health, and development.

My book, The Criticism Dilemma in International Organizations, is under contract with Oxford University Press. My work has also appeared in International Studies Quarterly, Journal of European Public Policy, Global Studies Quarterly, Journal of International Relations & Development, and the Oxford Handbook of International Political Sociology.
