I am Assistant Professor of Computational Social Science and Social Relations at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). Since March 2013, I also work as a Research Associate at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and since June 2023 as a Research Associate at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) in Germany.
Until 2023, I worked as Assistant Professor of Social Research and Public Policy at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and Global Network Assistant Professor at New York University (NYU).
I earned my Bachelors Degree in Socio-Economics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) in 2010. From 2011 to 2012 I studied Sociology at the University of Mannheim and at the University of Bergen in Norway. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Sociology in 2012. From 2013 until 2016, I was a scholarship holder at the graduate programme of the IAB and the FAU (GradAB).
Since January 2023, I lead a DFG-funded Emmy Noether Research Group, which was hosted at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) and is now at FAU.
My main research interests are Sociology of Work, Gender Inequality, Social Stratification, Migration, Quantitative Methodology, and Computational Social Science.
