ABOUT
I’ve been an adjunct professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra from January 2020. I’m responsible for the courses Quantitative Methodology I and Quantitative Methodology IV. The MQ courses go from introduction to math and statistics for political science students to sampling, regression, and discussions of causality. I am also PhD candidate at the University. My research focuses on changes in political party ideologies, especially in the shape of convergence on the center, by the parties in authoritarian settings. My thesis is titled “Rise of the Moderates under Authoritarianism.”
