I am a student on the MPhil in Politics (Comparative Government). My research interest is in climate change politics. My thesis will ask what impact successful climate litigation cases have on public opinion regarding climate change policies. The question is located at the intersection of judicial politics and climate politics.

Before joining the DPIR, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in "Liberal Arts and Sciences: Global Challenges" from Leiden University College. I have also completed the "Studium Generale" at the Leibniz Kolleg by the University of Tübingen.
