Fabio Ellger is a PhD candidate at the Research Training Group "The Dynamics of Demography, Democratic Processes and Public Policy" (DYNAMICS), jointly organised by the Hertie School and the Department of Social Sciences at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Fabio completed his studies at the University of Potsdam, focusing on comparative politics and quantitative methods. He also spent a semester at Bogazici University, Istanbul, and at the Graduate School of Duke University, North Carolina.
In the course of his studies, he worked as a student assistant for the Manifesto Project at the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) and at Potsdam’s Chair of Comparative Politics.
