I am a PoliSci PhD Candidate at ICS-ULisboa specializing in coalition governance in presidential systems. I specifically study how coalition partners in multiparty presidential cabinets manage delegation to one another using junior ministers and legislative committee chairpersons. I approach this issue comparatively, leveraging 9 country cases in Latin America, Africa and Asia. My research is funded by a stipend from the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia.

Aside from the research for my thesis, I am pursuing a second line of research in which I apply qualitative data analysis (QDA) to Brazilian politics.
