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.

Work

• PHD Candidate in Social Sciences (Oct 2023 - Present)

  I am currently a PhD student in the Youth Research Group at the Centre for Childhood and Youth Research in the Department of Social Sciences. My research focuses on the relationship between media use and loneliness among young people.

• 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.
