Danai is a PhD Candidate in EU Admnistrative Law and Governance, between the departments of Public Law and Political Science. Her work focuses on the intersections between politics, policies, and law, with particular attention to regulatory areas of techno-scientific complexity, such as the environment. 

Her current research delves on aspects of good governance at various levels of the EU regulatory system (e.g. at an institutional or an organisation context) both in theory and practice. Specifically, her work has been centred around the legitimacy of soft governance practices and mechanisms at the EU level - for instance, in terms of participation and transparency.  

Additionally, through policy, advocacy, and research, Danai works on supporting and promoting the value of diversity and inclusivity in teaching, research, and administrative practices in academic settings.
