I’m a PhD candidate in Public Management at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. I am currently a visiting scholar at the School of Public Affairs at American University until April 2026.
My research examines cross-sector dynamics in governance, focusing on how organizations collaborate across sectoral boundaries, how they signal and manage their sector identity, and how citizens interpret these dynamics.
I pursue this agenda through three interconnected strands. The first analyzes the institutional conditions shaping cross-sector partnerships, including the determinants of collaboration success and partner selection. The second examines citizen responses, investigating the presence or absence of sector biases in blame attribution and reactions to shifts in organizational identity. The third extends these questions to urban governance, exploring how different actors shape livability and whose voices are represented in decision-making processes.
Methodologically, I take an interdisciplinary approach, combining survey experiments, conjoint analysis, large-scale observational data, media analysis, and qualitative interviews.
My work has been published in leading journals in the field, such as Public Administration.
I am currently based in Singapore and I am on the academic job market in 2025/26.
