I am a PhD Candidate at Central European University, Vienna. My individual research revolves around the political psychology of winning and losing, and the implications for social polarization. My collaborative projects focus on the public opinion on highly controversial issues such as drug regulation or political scandals. I use experiments and other methods for causal inference in my research.
