I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science and Management, University of Agder. I lead HROMADA – the Nordic-Baltic Knowledge-Based Input Network to the Rebuilding of Ukraine, and a research project on the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. Between 2020-2023, I was the coordinator of the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at the University of Agder.
I hold a PhD from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Previous positions include interim professor for empirical democracy research at the University of Mannheim, project director at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) and post-doctoral researcher at Ghent University, Belgium. My research interests include the European Union, Ukraine, international relations and organisations, and external democracy promotion.
