About

I am an Associate Professor (ro. conferentiar universitar) at the University of Bucharest, in the Faculty of Business and Administration, where I mainly teach classes on governance, public policies, critical thinking, and academic ethics. I previously worked as an Assistant Lecturer (ro. asistent universitar) at the National University of Political Science and Public Administration (SNSPA), teaching a diverse range of subjects in political science and public administration. I am also the director of the Bucharest Center for Political Theory, a member of the Justice Everywhere cooperative of political theorists, and of the Young Academy of Europe. In the past I was a Visiting Scholar (>1 month stay) at the University of Oxford (2015) and the Barcelona Institute of Analytic Philosophy (2023), as well as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (2017-2018) and New Europe College (2022-2023).

In 2025 I received the “Mircea Florian” Award of the Romanian Academy for my book on voting rights (“Limitele electoratului”) and the “Most Prestigious Article in Social Sciences” and “Author of the Year” awards from the University of Bucharest for my Journal of Politics paper on compulsory voting (“Free-riding and Compulsory Voting”).

My research is mainly focused on political theory, primarily on topics such as voting, democracy, and justice. Aside from publishing in international outlets, I also try to contribute to enhancing the public understanding of political and ethical issues in Romania, especially through books which are aimed at a non-specialized audience. The most recent such books are:
