I received my doctorate (DPhil) in political science from the University of Augsburg, Germany, in 2008 and my diploma (master’s degree-equivalent) in political science from the University of Augsburg, Germany, in 2001.
Prior to joining Laurier, I was assistant professor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt (2010-2013) and the FernUniversität in Hagen (2008-2010) as well as research assistant and lecturer at Universität Augsburg (2003-2008).
My research examines how federal systems and more encompassing multilevel spaces of political and economic integration – like the European Union and North America – adjust to new international and domestic challenges. My current work focuses on
- federalism and policy change (trade policy; energy and climate; education)
- institutional reforms in federal systems and their impact
- federalism and the COVID-19 pandemic
- theories and methods in the field of comparative federalism and multilevel governance
- Government of Bavaria Dissertation Grant, €8,640 (2002).

- Canada Research Chair 2013 to 2023 (renewed: 2018).
- SSHRC Insight Grant: "The Politics of Federal Reform: Australia, Canada, Germany and Switzerland since the 1990s," (Principal Investigator, $117,764, 2016 to 2020)
- SSHRC Connection Grant “The Multilevel Politics of Trade in North America and Europe: Configurations, Patterns, Dynamics” (Co-applicant, $25,000, 2016-2017)
- SSHRC Partnership Development Grant: “IMPoRT: Investigating Multilevel Politics through Research on Trade” (Principal Investigator, $197,620, 2017-2020)
I am willing to supervise students who are interested in questions related to federalism and multilevel governance, as well as students interested in American, Canadian or West European politics more generally.
