Welcome to my website and blog!
I am a Postdoc at GESIS — Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Cologne. I am scientific coordinator of the GESIS Summer School in Survey Methodology and the GESIS Methodenseminar.
I submitted and defended my dissertation on “Discrimination in Education” at the University of Bamberg in 2017. It will be published in the GESIS Scientific Series in 2018.
Previously, I worked as a research associate at the LIfBi — Leibniz-Institute for Educational Trajectories, at the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), and in my own BMBF-funded project on “Discrimination in Education: Micro Mechanisms and Macro Determinants”.
From 2003 to 2009 I studied Social Sciences (Sociology, Social Psychology, Quantitative Methods/Statistics, Educational Psychology) at the University of Mannheim and Indiana University Bloomington.
