About
I am a computational political sociologist researching identity construction and political behaviour using quantitative and computational methods. Currently I work as a senior researcher within ERC-funded research project RECONCILE, at the Faculty of Law, Charles University, Prague, where we are investigating how to build resilient constitutional identities within democracies and hybrid political regimes in Europe and MENA countries. My PhD in Social Sciences (2020-2025 with cum laude distinction) from University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain brings together theories of identity, nationalism, and (digital) social networks to examine how online self-expression and interactions can influence offline political behaviours, particularly support for radical-right parties. During my PhD, I worked as a computational researcher (2020-2024) at the Volkswagen Foundation-funded research project, ValCon: Value Conflicts in a Differentiated Europe. I hold a research Master degree in Social Sciences from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (majors in political science, sociology, economic history and mixed-methods, 2018-2020). Before pursuing academia in Spain, I worked as a journalist in India with organisations including Reuters, CNN-News18, and India Today, covering politics, finance, and society.
