I am an Associate Professor and the M.A. Program Supervisor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto. I also serve as the Research Director for the Joint Initiative of German and European Studies (JIGES) at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

My work explores the politics of housing, financial, and labor markets in advanced economies, with regional specializations in Western Europe and the United States.

My new book, Through the Roof: Housing, Capitalism, and the State in America and Germany, was published with Cambridge University Press in 2025. It explains the highly divergent trajectories of American and German housing policies throughout the past century, and it shows how housing programs have remade American and German capitalism. It is available for purchase via the publisher and Amazon.

My work has appeared in Comparative Political Studies, Comparative Politics, New Political Economy, Politics & Society, the Review of International Political Economy, Socio-Economic Review, West European Politics, and Foreign Affairs.

I received my Ph.D. from the George Washington University and a B.A. from Leipzig University. I am also a former John F. Kennedy Memorial Fellow at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University.
