I — in a Nutshell
I am a Doctoral Research Fellow at ARENA Centre for European Studies of the University of Oslo. My research focuses on the interaction between the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Commission regarding violations of the rule of law and core EU membership principles. Specifically, I analyze the EU’s inconsistent response to rule of law breaches in Hungary and Poland since 2010, as part of the ENROL project.
My broader interests include comparative political institutions, causal inference, and methodological innovation. My research focuses on institutional hierarchy and decision-making processes, with established expertise in judicial politics and European integration. I develop novel measurement strategies and statistical frameworks that address conceptual limitations in existing research and enable more precise analysis of institutional behavior. A central theme in my work is how institutional settings and human psyhcological packages shape political outcomes across different contexts.
In data science, I connect empirical research on political institutions with advanced data collection and processing techniques. I explore how variations in institutional effectiveness are affected by factors like hierarchical relationships, legal preferences, and decision-making structures. My technical expertise spans R and Python programming, computational text analysis, and custom software development for political research.
