I graduated with a PhD from the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London.
Last year I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge and taught at the Higher School of Economics, St. Peterburg in Russia.
Currently, I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies, the University of Bath in Politics, International Relations and Russia.
My research covers the post-Soviet region and authoritarianism.
