I am a postdoctoral researcher working at the Max Weber Institute of Sociology at Heidelberg University.

My recent research focuses on political mobilisation and violence. I am specifically interested in how ties, or the absence of ties, between people, organisations and places make mobilisation possible. I employ networks reconstructed from documentary sources, large text corpora annotated with language models, and event data analysed with point-process models.

I teach courses on social movements, networks and quantitative social science.
