Marie Curie Fellow, Bocconi University I work as a Marie Curie Fellow at Bocconi University, Milan. Previously, I was a research fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington DC and at the University of Cambridge, where I also obtained my PhD. I am an empirical political economist combining theoretical innovation with analytical rigour and contextual knowledge on Eastern Europe. I utilise insights from sociology, economics, political science and social epidemiology to advance human development, democracy, and health. My book, The Retreat of Liberal Democracy (Palgrave, 2020) analyses how global economic transformation gave rise to illiberal populism in Hungary. I served as a member of the Hungarian Parliament between 2010–2014.
