Welcome to my website! I am a PhD Researcher at the Department for Migration and Globalisation, University for Continuing Education – Danube University Krems. I study migration policies and their impact, focusing on the interplay between European and Global Southern countries. My dissertation examines why governments sign agreements about returning irregular migrants, what factors influence the enforcement of return, and how these policies shape future migration patterns. My PhD is funded by the Horizon Europe project Finding Agreement in Return (FAiR).
