I’m a PhD candidate in Public Management at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. In spring 2026, I was a visiting scholar at the School of Public Affairs at American University.
My research examines how citizens and organizations make judgments and decisions under conditions of governance complexity, particularly when authority, responsibility, and decision-making are distributed across multiple actors, stakeholders, and sectors.
I pursue this agenda through two interconnected streams. The first examines how citizens make sense of complex governance arrangements, including how they attribute accountability, evaluate stakeholders, and respond to changes in organizational and sectoral structures. The second focuses on the organizational side of governance complexity, including partner selection, cross-sector collaboration, and the institutional conditions shaping collaboration success and failure.
I also study urban governance, with a particular interest in livability, citizen participation, and whose voices are represented in urban decision-making.
Methodologically, I combine survey experiments, conjoint analysis, observational data, media analysis, and qualitative interviews.
My work has been published in Public Administration and Urban Studies.
I am currently based in Singapore and I am on the academic job market.
