Beginning from April 2018, I will be a postdoctoral research fellow at Tim Büthe’s Chair of International Relations at the Technical University of Munich. This also means that I will be leaving Zurich after more than four years. My gratitude goes out to incredible colleagues who have made this a fun and productive time!

On March 15, 2018, I successfully defended my dissertation at the University of Zurich. I thank my supervisor, Stefanie Walter, for helpful advice over the last years, the other members of my committee, Svend-Erik Skaaning and Marco Steenbergen, and countless friends and colleagues who helped along the way!
