About Me

I am a research assistant at the University of Bremen’s SOCIUM and a PhD student in political science at the University of Bremen and the University of Geneva. In my PhD, I am analyzing how states interact with bond markets. My thesis is situated at the intersection of international and comparative political economy, but I am also working in other research areas (see publications and projects below).

I hold a BA and an MA in Social Sciences from Humboldt University of Berlin and have visited the University of Zurich and Sciences Po Paris during my studies. In the spring of 2026, I was a visiting student at Princeton University. Under Miscellaneous, you can find a collection of (other people’s) PhD advice and cheat sheets for working with Stata to visualize data.
