My research examines how access to finance shapes politics, across international and comparative political economy. I study this through two lines of work: how citizens navigate economic security amid growing financial exposure, through pensions, housing, and government transfers, and how governments and firms navigate global capital markets to pursue political goals, from sovereign green bonds to restrictions on foreign investment. Together, this work shows that market access is not just an economic condition but a political resource, shaping political participation, policy credibility, and the resilience of democratic institutions. More broadly, I am interested in asset ownership, pensions, political participation, green finance, and sovereign debt.

I am an incoming Departmental Lecturer in International Relations at Oxford University. I was previously a 2025-2026 Postdoctoral Fellow at the Niehaus Center at Princeton University. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the Technical University of Munich in 2025.
