Hello and welcome.

I am a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences, Babeş-Bolyai University, as part of the TakePart project, funded by the NextGenerationEU program. Additionally, I am Co-Principal Investigator of the READJUST Climate project, financed by the European Climate Foundation. I am also a board member of the Social Movements Research Network of the Council for European Studies. My research has been published in top international outlets including Perspectives on Politics, European Societies, International Affairs, Political Studies, Communication Methods and Measures, and Social Movement Studies. My work has been featured in major media outlets such as BBC World News, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, El País, SER Radio, and elDiario.es.

I am deeply invested in understanding how different social groups and political ideologies push for long-lasting societal changes, and how their actions affect the health of our democracies. With this aim, my research spans the spectrum, from social movements to political parties, and from progressive left ideologies to the far-right. Methodologically, I specialize in both quantitative and qualitative approaches, encompassing surveys, survey experiments, comparative analysis, interviewing, and ethnography.

I earned my Ph.D. summa cum laude from the Central European University and have been recognized with the Young Scholar Award 2021 by the European Sociological Association, in addition to receiving the 2020 Outstanding Dissertation Award from Central European University.
