About Me
I received my PhD from the University of Zürich in 2017. In my dissertation, I looked at intergenerational relationships in young adulthood, based on a Swiss longitudinal study (TREE - Transitions from Education to Employment). From 2017 until March 2020, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Sociology at the University of Konstanz, working in a DFG-funded project.
Since 2020, I am holding a Zukunftskolleg Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Konstanz. I am working independently on a number of projects and topics, collaborating locally, nationally and internationally with renowned scholars in my field. I am also a Co-PI in the project "Covid-19 Policies for Gender Equality (CoPE)" at the University of Konstanz' Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality".
Between 2022 and 2023, I was an Interim Professor for Political Sociology and Social Stratification at the LMU Munich, where I had the pleasure of teaching lectures and seminars on social change, inequalities across the life course, inequalities from a comparative welfare perspective and globally.
My research interests broadly center around the topics of Life Course, Inequality and Welfare States. I address various topics, such as health inequalities in later life, work-care-reconciliation across the life course, transitions in young adulthood, labour market sociology, well-being and solidarity during the pandemic.
My analytical approach can best be described as theory-driven quantitative research. I mainly use large secondary data, such as SHARE or EU-SILC, but I am also involved in collecting data here at the University of Konstanz. My modelling approach often lies in examining the interactions between micro and macro, exploiting variation within individuals over time using longitudinal data, or between individuals across different spatial and cultural different contexts (or both), or applying experimental and quasi-experimental designs. Recently, I have developed in interest in sociological theory development, and I have identified two interesting contributions, which I address in two larger grant proposals (fingers are crossed).
Privately, I enjoy vegan cooking, taking long walks or foggy morning runs in the forest hills behind my house, discovering new music´, and figuring out seemingly undoable moves at boulder blocks. Recently, I got into animal protection and adopted a bunch of lovely rescued lab rats, became a member in an organization (for the first time in my life) and started volunteering (I believe that I am growing up).
