I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Hertie School in Berlin, Germany. With Prof. Ruth Ditlmann, we study intergroup contact and more specifically, we examine when and how institutional support reduces or increases the impact of intergroup contact interventions.
My PhD thesis examines the causes of forced migration with a focus on rebel group dynamics and aims to understand why there are more displaced people from some countries than others. My research also focuses on how varying aspects of violence affect decisions to flee, identity, and political attitudes. My research is published or accepted for publication in Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Journal of Peace Research, Political Science Research and Methods, and other outlets.
