I am a social economist, primarily a sociologist but equally influenced by economics. In my research I focus in terms of methods especially on survey methodology and causal inference and in terms of substantive research on education and higher education research, labor market research, but also health sociology.

Currently I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW) in the Student Life Cycle Panel (SLC). Moreover, I co-lead the research cluster Empirical Methods of Higher Education Research and Science Studies.

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. From 2016 to 2021, I did my PhD at Leibniz Universität Hanover.
