Daniel studies political behavior at the voter and the elite level; his expertise lies in the intersection of friends-and-neighbors voting and distributive politics. For his dissertation, he mostly applies experimental methods and analyzes data obtained via webscraping.
Before starting his doctoral studies, he was a Research Fellow at Republikon Institute, a Budapest-based think tank, primarily working with public opinion polling data; and a Research Assistant for the multi-disciplinary CUPESSE (Cultural Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency and Entrepreneurship) project, funded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme. Since 2017, he is a recurring Visiting Lecturer at the Széchenyi István College for Advanced Studies, Budapest, where he teaches Research Design, Academic Writing and Sociology and received the Distinguished Teacher Award in 2021.
