About me
Social sciences in the digital age face unique challenges that continue to fascinate me. Quantified facts are crucial for identifying action areas to prevent early-stage inequalities. Creating a just digitalized society and effectively managing digitalization’s opportunities and risks will be a future challenge. Interdisciplinary approaches, connecting mathematical and IT methods with social science theories, are essential. I’m passionate about this challenge and eager to learn new methods while building a network of like-minded individuals.

Research Assistant in Social Policy (May 2021 - September 2023)
In my role as a Research Assistant at the Chair of Social Policy, my research efforts were primarily focused on welfare state and perception of social inequality. I also contributed to various organizational tasks within the department.
