I am an associate professor at Insper Institute for Education and Research in São Paulo, Brazil, where I currently serve as Dean of Research and Graduate Studies. My research examines political representation, political parties, and democratic accountability in developing countries, with a particular focus on Brazil.
I am also an associate at the Governance and Local Development Institute, University of Gothenburg, and a former research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (2016–2018).
My work has been published in the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Politics, among other outlets.
I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2015.
