About
​
I am a political scientist specializing in regulation, governance, and public policy, a Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Fellow at LMU Munich, and package leader in the EU Horizon Europe (2021–2027) SUPA project at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Previously, I have been a member of the ERC advanced research project REGTRUST, ​and a PhD Researcher at the Department of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I conducted research on regulatory discretion using computational text analysis tools.
​
My dissertation examined how legislatures shapes the discretion of bureaucrats to create regulations and how the latter eventually make regulations. Through this investigation, I uncovered the complex dynamics between legislative bodies and non-elected bureaucrats in making regulations.
My work has been published in several journals, including Perspective on Politics, Public Administration, Regulation & Governance, and Law & Policy.
​
In recognition of this work, I have received two international awards for early career scholars: the 2023 Giandomenico Majone Prize in the field of regulation and the 2022 Rudolph Wildenmann Prize in political science.
