I'm currently in my second year of the MPhil program in Comparative Government, where my research centres on civil resistance movements and their transformation. Specifically, my thesis delves into the evolution of resistance in Syria prior to the onset of the civil war.

Research interests:

  • Conceptual approaches to nonviolence
  • Civil and armed resistance
  • multi-party conflict research

Before joining DPIR, I completed my bachelors in International Relations and Global Economics at Jacobs University in Germany.
