Profile

My research focuses on the interplay between voters, politicians, and institutions. I study how citizens become informed about politics, form opinions, and provide input to officeholders under different political environments and informational contexts.

I am particularly interested in the extent to which voters acquire key facts about politics and use this information when forming opinions on political issues.

Teaching activities

I have taught several courses and seminars on political representation and behavior both at the BA and MA of Political Science. This has spanned from generel introduction courses to Political Science, foundational theories on inputs and demands to the political system, and more research based teaching regarding political knowledge, attitude formation, and factual (mis)perceptions of the politics.
