I am Lecturer in Public Policy at King's College London (UK). I study how political actors make collective decisions about policy issues by leveraging collaborative ties across levels of governance. I study these processes not only within supranational multilevel governance systems (e.g. the European Union) but also within nation states (e.g. the United Kingdom, the USA) and within subnational governance systems (e.g. metropolitan regions such as the San Francisco Bay Area).

I tend to focus on infrastructure projects e.g. climate adaptation infrastructure but also utilities sectors (energy, telecommunications, water, railway), which typically display high sunk costs, externalities, and interdependencies between actors and territories. For that reason, I also work in the realm of social-ecological systems.

Between January 2018 and December 2019, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Center for Environmental Policy and Behavior (CEPB) of the University of California (Davis). There, I worked on projects focusing on the governance challenges to adaptation to sea level rise. In December 2017, I obtained my PhD in Political Science from the University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK). My thesis focuses on energy regulatory cooperation across levels of governance in the EU, the USA and the developing world.
