I am Assistant Professor and the Deputy Head of the Department of International Relations at the Institute of Political Studies at Charles University. I research and teach courses on international politics and international organizations. I have studied at Charles University, at the University of Bath, at Princeton University, and at Freie Universität Berlin. In my research, I focus on the functioning of international institutions and global information inter-connectedness. I am the principal investigator of project GLOWIN, Global Flows of Political Information (https://glowin.cuni.cz/). I am also a work package leader in the Horizon Europe project ENSURED (2023-2026). The results of my research have been published in leading scholarly journals in the field of International Relations, including in International Studies Quarterly (2021), The Review of International Organizations (2017, 2021), New Political Economy (2019), and Comparative European Politics (2018).
