I am an Associate Professor in Political Science at the Department of Social Sciences at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid and a Fellow at the Carlos III – Juan March Institute. Currently I am also co-director of the Master Progran in ‘Análisis Político y Electoral’. I received my PhD from the University of Mannheim, where I also worked as a lecturer at the Chair of Political Science and International Comparative Research.
My research relates to citizens’ political attitudes and behaviours with an emphasis on inequalities. I am particularly interested in the processes by which political participation and political orientations develop, as well as how contextual and individual determinants interact in these processes. I am also interested in how diverse research methodologies and techniques can be used to develop this research field further. Parts of my research have appeared in West European Politics, the International Journal of Press/Politics, the International Journal of Public Opinion Research or in the monograph Young People’s Political Participation in Western Europe by Palgrave Macmillan.
