My research focuses on democracy and political conflict, with a particular interest in political mobilisation, political violence, political communication, and public opinion. I am especially interested in how political conflicts unfold in public debates, how political actors influence these debates, and how citizens perceive and respond to political developments.

My current research examines democratic resilience and how political and societal actors respond to political and democratic challenges.
This includes work on the mainstreaming of the far right, the consequences of political violence, and the responses of political parties, civil society organisations, and media actors in addressing challenges to democracy.

Methodologically, I combine computational text analysis and network analysis of mass media, social media, parliamentary, and protest data with experimental research designs and qualitative approaches, including interviews.
