I am professor for "sociology of future of work" at Humboldt-University Berlin and Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF). As a sociologist I work on topics of technology, labor, political economy, political sociology and social inequality.

Working as a graduate researcher for SAP, I am thrilled to link empirical research to pressing questions of today’s economy. I gained a master’s degree in psychology from Heidelberg University and am currently finishing up my PhD in economic and organizational psychology at Regensburg University, supervised by Prof. Dr. Peter Fischer. In my dissertation, I examined the effectiveness of different team structures in knowledge-driven organizations, providing causal evidence for the positive effect of self-organization on team decision-making. I am generally interested in social systems and their inherent dynamics, such as the emergence of hierarchy or conflicts between individual and organization/state. 

I finished my school education in 2019 with the general university entrance qualification at the "Helmholtz-Gymnasium Heidelberg". Since I wanted to gain new life experiences before my studies, I did a federal volunteer service in Chile. So last year I worked as an assistant teacher at a middle school located in a socially deprived area of Santiago, teaching Mathematics and English. In Santiago in October 2019 a wave of protests started and flooded the entire country - the long lasting protests caused me to deal intensively with the chilean system of government. In Chile a neoliberal economic system is firmly anchored in the constitution hence  social inequality is growing massively, and the government is increasingly attempting to restrict freedom of expression through heavy-handed police operations. To see a democracy fail in this way motivates me to participate in such a project to make democracy more resilient for the future. In the coming winter term I will start with a business study at the LMU in Munich.
