Welcome to my website and blog!
I am a research associate at the GESIS — Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Cologne, and a PhD candidate at the Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences (BAGSS) of the University of Bamberg.
At GESIS I am scientific coordinator of the GESIS Summer School in Survey Methodology, responsible for developing the program of the summer school. As a PhD candidate I intend to finish my dissertation on “Discrimination in German Education” in 2016.
Previously, I have 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 have studied Social Sciences (Sociology, Social Psychology, Statistics, Educational Psychology) at the University of Mannheim and Indiana University Bloomington (USA).
