About
I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of Michigan studying World Politics (IR). My interests include international political economy, firm behavior, environmental politics and climate change politics. In 2024, I received the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship, where I cooperate on research and learning activities with a non-governmental organization in Washington. Previously, I was based in Edinburgh (Scotland) and I worked as a professional classical musician for organizations such as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the NDR Radiophilharmonie Orchestra Hannover (Germany), the Camerata Bern (Switzerland), and the Wiener Symphoniker (Austria).
I attended the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Hochschule fuer Musik Detmold where I graduated with both a Diploma in Music and a Master of Music (excellent). I also hold an MSc in Political Science and Government (First Class) from the University of Essex (United Kingdom).
