Hello! I’m a Harvard Academy Scholar. I completed my Ph.D. in Sociology at the Geneva Graduate Institute in 2025.
As a political and environmental sociologist, I analyse how states, markets, and societies confront the challenges of decarbonisation, inequality, and democracy in comparative perspective. I study the Global South, particularly Brazil, South Africa, and other Latin American countries. While I draw on and take pleasure in qualitative and quantitative methods, my work is ultimately driven by questions: how states develop the capacity to decarbonise and redistribute; how global and domestic constraints condition these processes; and how the world-views of political and economic elites influence their trajectory.
My research has received multiple awards from the American Sociological Association (ASA) and the Latin American Studies Association (LASA). It has also been supported by the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS), the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI), and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF).
