About
​
I am a political scientist who focuses on regulation, governance, and public policy.
Since 2023, I have been a member of the ERC advanced research project REGTRUST, led by Prof. David Levi-Faur, and a visiting fellow of the Chair of Empirical Theory of Politics at LMU Munich, hosted by Prof. Christoph Knill.
​
Previously, I was a PhD Researcher at the Department of Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I conducted research on regulatory discretion using computational text analysis tools.
​
My dissertation examined how legislatures shapes the discretion of bureaucrats to create regulations and how the latter eventually make regulations. Through this investigation, I uncovered the complex dynamics between legislative bodies and non-elected bureaucrats in making regulations.
My work has been published in several journals, including Public Administration, Regulation & Governance, Law & Policy, and The Theory and Practice of Legislation.
​
These achievements have been recognized through the reception of two international awards for early career scholars: the 2023 Giandomenico Majone Prize in the field of regulation and the 2022 Rudolph Wildenmann Prize in political science.
