Fields of interest

History and theory of EU integration; EU policy-making process; transnational law enforcement cooperation/EU Justice and Home Affairs policies.

Research and teaching experience

My research interest covers EU affairs broadly defined (including history and theory of EU integration; emergence, functioning and change of EU institutions etc.). From 2008 to 2014, I have been a doctoral researcher at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, where I investigated the institutional set-up, as well as the policy-making dynamics in the EU’s area of Police and Criminal Justice Cooperation. Outside my own (narrow) research focus, I have participated in several international collaborative research projects as a country expert (see  here and  here). 

Before joining the BAIS program, I taught introduction courses/seminars on EU politics at Leiden University and Istituto Lorenzo de’Medici in Florence, and have been a guest lecturer/speaker at various international study abroad programs in Italy. 

At BAIS I teach the following courses: Configuring the World, Macroeconomics, Economics: Europe and Politics: Europe.

International and work experience

I have lived, studied and worked abroad including France, The Netherlands, Russia and Italy. In Maastricht, the European city of the Netherlands par excellence, I studied European Studies (2003-2006). During that time, I spent two consecutive summers as a research intern at the German foreign policy think-tank Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik in Berlin. Moreover, given my interest in Russian politics at that time, I also interned at the German Embassy in Moscow, Russia, where I worked in the Press and Public Relations Department. By 2008, I decided that I had seen and lived enough through cold winters in the “north” and decided to move to Italy, where I worked as a PhD researcher until January 2014.
