      CV

Thank you for visiting! I am a PhD student in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. I study public opinion and political behaviour in democracies, with a main focus on political trust. I am also interested in research reproducibility and AI use in the social sciences. I work primarily with longitudinal and family data.

1. Revisiting the link between political trust and political participation (with James Tilley and Sven Oskarsson). Journal of Politics, forthcoming.
2. Misconduct by voters’ own representatives does not affect voters’ generalized political trust (with James Tilley). British Journal of Political Science 54(4), 1496–1505.
