Profile

Research

I conduct research in the fields of Political Methodology and Psychology, including statistics, experimental methods, and public opinion. With Troels Bøggild as my supervisor, I did my thesis on Political Homophily, where I investigated potential effects of political candidates' eye and hair color on voter support. Here, I collected data using a multinational, experimental survey, which I analyzed using Bayesian multilevel models.

I have previously been a student assistant on numerous research projects at the Department of Political Science and at the Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research Policy at Aarhus University.

I am currently a research assistant on Kees van Kersbergen's project 'Slow-motion democracy' (SLOMODEMO), where I work on the measurement of Social Acceleration and its societal effects across 8 democracies.
