I conduct research on the governance and forms of protection that are available for people who move across international borders: access to asylum, medical care, political rights, and welfare. I have published extensively in international academic journals in the fields of political science, public health, and sociology. ​​​I am ​currently writing a book on the dilemmas of people who provide social services to migrants and asylum seekers in Greece, Italy, and Spain.

​

My work has been featured in international media outlets, including Bloomberg, de Tijd, Deutsche Welle, Euronews, The Guardian, Hankook Ilbo, Kristeligt Dagblad, Radio France International, Politiken, Radio Svizzera Italiana, Tagesspiel, TVP World, and The Washington Post.

​

I serve as a reviewer for several academic journals, including: American Political Science Review, BMC Public Health, Citizenship Studies, Comparative Southeast European Studies, Ethnic and Migration Studies, European Political Science Review, Health Policy, International Migration, Journal of Common Market Studies, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Journal of European Social Policy, Migration Studies, Policy & Society, Population Space and Place, Regional and Federal Studies, Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica, Social Forces. The list of journals I have written reviews for can be found on my Web of Science profile. I have also acted as a reviewer for the European Research Council, Starting Grants (2021).

​

During my Ph.D. I have benefited from visiting fellowships at Fondazione ISMU, Milan, Italy (2017); Collegio Carlo Alberto and the Forum Internazionale ed Europeo di Ricerche sull'Immigrazione, Turin, Italy (2016-2017); Swiss Forum of Migration and Population Studies at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland (2016); Department of Political Science of McGill University, Canada (2015); and Scottish Centre for Constitutional Change of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland (2014).
