I am an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the School for Government, King's College London. I received my PhD in Political Science from King's College London in 2022. My research focuses on how nations can improve policy to counter far-right terrorist groups and fortify democracy.
I am a Research Associate at the Hellenic Observatory, London School of Economics, and hold a similar position at the ENA Institute. Additionally, I have been a Fellow of Team Populism at Brigham Young University. I have also been a member of the Reactionary Politics Research Network since 2025.
In 2024, I joined ETERON’s advisory board and established a partnership to lead projects focusing on voting behaviour. At the moment, I am also working with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) on a transnational project analysing gender dynamics across Europe.
On the side, I collaborate with Human Act to devise radical wealth-tax reforms and shape narratives aimed at the ultra-rich.
I have written for The Guardian, POLITICO, The Independent, and the New Statesman, among others.
In my spare time, I record music as Plastic Flowers and run a monthly show on Onassis Stegi. I enjoy drawing, surfing, and winter swimming. Finally, I hold a black belt in Taekwon-Do.
