I am a Professor of Political Science, specializing in comparative politics. My research primarily focuses on questions related to political representation, electoral systems, and the ethnic and gender diversity of candidates elected to parliament. I lead various research projects that investigate the implementation of ethnic quotas in elections and parliaments. One particular project examines how candidates are selected and the complexities involved in the electoral process. I am dedicated to advancing our understanding of these critical issues and contributing to the academic discourse in this area.
