Research

In my research, I investigate how digital transformation reshapes governance.

To do so, I empirically focus on international security and on how new and emerging technologies redefine political rationales and practices – ranging from biometric identification and interoperable databases to algorithmically mediated intelligence production.

I am currently Principal Investigator of two major research grants:

(1) CURATE (ERC/SERI Starting Grant; 2022-2027; at ETH Zurich)

(2) INFRASEC (FWO/SNSF WEAVE Grant; 2026-2030; at University of Zurich).

I also serve on the Management Committee for DATAMIG (EU COST Action; 2023-2027).
