I am a social economist, primarily a sociologist but equally influenced by economics. The main focus of my research is on education and higher education research, labor market research, but also health sociology. However, I am also strongly committed to methods of quantitative social research (esp. causal inference) and survey methodology.

Currently I am working as a researcher at the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW) in the Student Life Cycle Project (SLC). Additionally I work at the chair for Higher Education Research and Science Studies of Prof. Dr. Monika Jungbauer-Gans at the Leibniz University Hanover (LUH).

Before starting my work at the DZHW and the LUH I took my bachelor’s degree (B.A.) from 2010 to 2013 and a master’s degree (M.Sc.) from 2013 to 2016 in Social Economics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
