I'm a PhD Candidate at Central European University, working on the Political Economy of Development especially in Latin American democracies.

My current work is focused on the question: "what are the political conditions that enable and/or constrain developmental practices in middle-income democracies?". I'm currently looking to broaden my geographical scope and include countries from outside of the Latin American region.

My dissertation "Democratic Developmentalism: Essays on the political aspects of development policies in Latin America" is due to be defended in June 2024.

In my years as a PhD Candidate, I have done fieldwork in Brazil and Chile and have had visiting research positions at King's College London and at Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago.

Part of my work has been published at Third World Quarterly and at Regulation and Governance. Also check the Work in Progress tab for what I'm working on now.
