I am an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the School for Government (SFG), King's College London, and a member of ETERON’s advisory board. 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 communicate these strategies to the public.
Before joining SFG, I was a Lecturer in Political Economy in the Department of Political Economy, and before my tenure at King’s, I served as a Teaching Fellow in Political Science at University College London.
In 2024, I established a partnership between ETERON and King’s College London to lead projects focusing on voting behaviour. In 2025, I am also collaborating with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) on a transnational project analysing gender dynamics and inequality across Europe.
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. In 2024, I joined the Scientific Board of the Greek Review of Social Research. I have also been a member of the Reactionary Politics Research Network (RPRN) since 2025.
On the side, I collaborate with Human Act to devise radical wealth-tax reforms and shape narratives aimed at the ultra-rich.
I have contributed op-eds to 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 also develop visual algorithms on MAX and enjoy drawing, and winter swimming. Finally, I hold a black belt in Taekwon-Do.
