I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and an Associate Researcher at ICS-ULisboa, from where I obtained my PhD in Political Science. At UAB, I work for the “Firms and workplace mobilization in Europe” (FIRMPOL) project, led by Dr. Irina Ciornei, which revolves around employer-led political mobilization in the workplace in European democracies, and asks how employers attempt to shape the political preferences and behavior of workers.

My main line of research focuses on governance in the challenging institutional environment of multiparty presidentialism, which combines powerful, directly elected presidents with fragmented legislatures. More specifically, I look at the institutional mechanisms that coalition parties use to keep tabs on one another. I also pursue a secondary line of research revolving around Brazilian and Latin American politics, with a focus on parties, political discourse, corruption and Brazilian foreign policy. More recently, I have opened up a new line in the field of business political mobilization in Europe.
