Post-Doctoral Marie Currie Fellow, University College Dublin I am a Post-Doctoral CAROLINE Marie-Sklodowska Curie Fellow in the Sutherland School of Law, University College Dublin (UCD). My academic background is in political science and my academic interests are in the fields of public policy & administration, regulation, and integrity policies. My research is concerned with the behaviour of integrity regulators. Those are the institutions that control the work of public authorities, for instance anticorruption agencies/ethics commissions, audit offices, information & data commissioners, and many others. My research seeks to analyse why they behave the way they do, and how they interact with public authorities, particularly during confrontational times. I am interested in how organisational, situational and leadership factors shape the conduct of those integrity regulators. Prior to joining UCD, I studied at the London School of Economics (LSE), where I obtained a PhD in Political Science and an MSc in Public Policy & Administration (both in the LSE Department of Government).
