I am an assistant professor at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute of Political Science at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich.
My main research interests include European Union politics in general and the legislative organization of the European Parliament in particular. In addition, I work in the area of comparative public policy, most importantly on morality and gun policy. I am currently involved in a research project the effects of policy accumulation on democratic political systems and I work on the causes and consequences of policy complexity in the European Union. Starting in 2019, I will lead an Emmy Noether Research group entitled "EUPLEX - Coping with policy complexity in the European Union". Please find a short summary of the project here. Office hours: Wednesdays, 11-12 a.m., room 176 Please register for the office hours via email. |
