About

I am a social scientist with a passion for quantitative data and methods. My research interests include labor market sociology, gender inequality, higher education research, academic careers, and work-family dynamics.

Currently, I am working as Akademische Rätin für quantitative Methoden at the University of Wuppertal. If you are interested in my ongoing research projects, you can have a glimpse here. Published work can be found here.

In the academic year 2024/2025, I will be a JFK Memorial Fellow at the Center for European Studies (CES) at Harvard University. At CES, I will be working on the research question: “How do policy regimes foster (wo)men’s work-family preferences as reflected in parental leave decisions?”.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or ideas you want to share with me.
