I am the Sutherland Chair in European Institutions at the European Institute and the Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science.

Moreover, I am affiliated with Nuffield College, University of Oxford, as Associate Member, and with the University of Southern Denmark as an Honorary Professor in Political Science. I am Chair of the European Election Studies (EES), an EU-wide project studying voters, parties, candidates and the media in European Parliamentary elections.

Before joining the LSE, I was university lecturer at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford, and Fellow in Politics at Lincoln College.

My research and teaching interests lie in political behaviour (particularly elections and referendums), EU politics and European integration, comparative politics and quantitative methods in political science.
