Biographical Info I am a Research Fellow at the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, currently located at the Centre for Sociological Research, KU Leuven. My first doctorate was in experimental elementary particle physics from Yale University in 1994. After working as a Physicist at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), I earned an MA in Transition Economics at the Central European University in Budapest (1997) and then a DPhil in Contemporary European Studies from the University of Sussex (2003). I focus on realist research methods in the social sciences, particularly in European policy studies.
