Welcome! I am a political economist at the Chair of European and Global Governance of the Hochschule für Politik /TUM School of Governance at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). My research and teaching cover a number of themes related to international political economy and comparative political economy, with a particular focus on global financial governance.

My research interests revolve around finance and development, especially the domestic and external political constraints that governments in developing countries face in governing their financial sectors. The question which drives my research is how much policy space governments in developing countries have in governing their financial sectors in a context of globalisation and financialisation.

Prior to joining the Chair of European and Global Governance, I was a Fellow in International Political Economy at the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and lecturer in International Political Economy at City, University of London. I am also an associate researcher at the German Development Institute and a honorary research fellow at the University of Warwick’s Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation.
