I am an experienced academic with nearly two decades in Political Science, focusing on the study of democratization and autocratization. My research has been published in prominent journals, including *Democratization* (Routledge) and *Studies in East European Thought* (Springer). I have a forthcoming article titled “Dissonance in Democracy: Contrasting Expert and Public Opinions in European Countries,” which will appear in *European Political Science* by Palgrave Macmillan. In this article, I delve into the complexities of democratic systems in Europe.
I hold a position as a Fellow Researcher at Corvinus University in Budapest, enhancing my research capabilities and regional expertise. Beyond academia, I serve as an expert on Albania for the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (W.Z.B.), contributing to the Manifesto Project through qualitative analysis of electoral programs. My extensive experience in both quantitative and qualitative data analysis is further complemented by my role as a peer reviewer, where I work to ensure the continued excellence of scholarly research in Eastern European studies.
