Bio →
I am an Assistant Professor at Masaryk University. Previously, I worked at Charles University on the SYRI and AUTHLIB projects. I earned my PhD from Leiden University, following earlier studies in the UK: an HNC at Banff and Buchan College, a BA (Hons) at Robert Gordon University, and an MSc at University of Aberdeen.
I have published articles in East European Politics, Political Studies Review, and German Journal of Comparative Politics, as well as book chapters published by Palgrave Macmillan and Oxford University Press. In 2023, my book "Party Organization and Electoral Success of New Anti-establishment Parties" was published by Routledge.
