I hold a Chair in Political Behavior and am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Geneva. I am also an affiliated Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. My research and teaching interests lie in the fields of political behavior, public opinion, EU politics and European integration and quantitative methods in political science. For a curriculum vitae see my CV Page.

Currently, I work on several projects exploring new avenues in the study of electoral behavior and party strategy. In addition, I am conducting three research projects funded by Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), and the Centre for European Studies at UNC Chapel Hill that deal with party and media framing of European integration, the politicization of immigration and European integration, and party positioning. The latter project is part of ongoing data collection on expert placements of party positions on a range of political issues - the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES).

Previously, I was a visiting Research Fellow at the Mannheim Centre for Social Science Research (MZES), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the European University Institute, and worked at the Political Science Department of Leiden University. I conducted my PhD research at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Next to research and teaching, I really like photography. For a selection of recent pictures, see my flickr page.
