I am a political science researcher, consultant and political analyst interested in the Human Rights situation in Foreign Affairs, the MENA Region, Authoritarianism, Democracy & Democratization, Protest & Repression and Academic Freedom.

My research lies at the intersection of comparative politics, international relations and regional studies on Middle Eastern politics & societies. In my dissertation I explore the impact of protests on elite perceptions and decision-making in authoritarian regimes in Morocco and Egypt during 2011.

in 2019 I joined the Global Public Policy institutes
' team working on topics realted to Human Rights and Democracy.

From 2018 till 2019 I joined Amnesty Internationals' German chapter at the Middle East Desk as a Human Rights
 advocacy officer in the Berlin office.

Since June 2016 I manage the WZB's Democracy Blog and the attached social media accounts as the communications officer of the research unit on Democracy and Democratization. In this line of work I have also started a political science podcast the WZB Democracy Podcast, in which I talk with colleagues from comparative politics and international relations on issues such as political parties, democracy, elections or political regimes and transition processes.
