About

I am a Research Fellow at the Zukunftskolleg at the University of Konstanz where I am affiliated with the Department of Politics and Public Administration. Previously I worked as a research associate at the Institute for Social Sciences at the University of Stuttgart. My research interests include political parties, political competition, voting and (substantive and descriptive) political respresentation. I currently work as principal investigator on the DFG-funded GROUPTA-project ("Group targeting and citizens’ responses to electoral promises and their realization") and together with two colleagues I lead the DFG-ANR funded project "Unequal mandate responsiveness? How electoral promises and their realizations target groups in France and Germany (UNEQUALMAND)".
