I am a professor of political science at the Center for European Studies and Comparative Politics at Sciences Po, Paris. My research concentrates on political competition in Europe with the aim of uncovering the political conflict lines in different countries. I explore the issues that political parties contest across the continent, the strategies that different parties follow, as well as the preferences and voting patterns of voters. 

I am interested in the impact of different voter profiles, particularly their ethnicity and exposure to various social risks, on their political attitudes and voting behavior, as well as on the forms of their political representation.

My recent book “Ethnic Minorities, Political Competition, and Democracy: Circumstantial Liberals” studies the effect of ethnic minority politics on democracy.

I am one of the principal investigators of the Chapel Hill Expert Survey on party positioning, and of the Horizon Europe project AUTHLIB studying the varieties of opposition to liberal democracy.

I teach courses in comparative politics and quantitative methodology, and advise students studying parties, electoral behavior, or ethnic politics in Europe. I act as the academic advisor to the Sciences Po Summer School.

I am an associate editor of East European Politics and Societies: and Cultures.
