About me

I am a quantitative Sociologist and Social Demographer at Humboldt-Universität (HU) zu Berlin within the team of Prof. Anette Fasang at her chair of Microsociology. I am also an affiliated Research Fellow at Nuffield College.

I obtained my PhD in Sociology, Demography, and Statistics at the Institute for Social Science Research (ISSR) at the University of Queensland, Australia, on 9th November 2020 under supervision of Prof. Janeen Baxter, Prof. Sergi Vidal and Prof. Philipp Lersch. My thesis May your wealth be easily divisible by two examined the association between marital dissolution and women’s and men’s personal wealth using a life course perspective. Prior to joining Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in November 2022 as a Research and Teaching Fellow, I also held positions as Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford (2021-2022) under Prof. Christiaan Monden and as Predoctoral Research Fellow within the MyWealth project of Prof. Philipp Lersch at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2018-2021) and at University of Cologne (2017-2018).

Using predominantly household panel survey data and longitudinal data analysis methods, my research focuses on the causes and consequences of social inequalities over and between life courses of individuals with a particular focus on subjective and economic well-being, gender, work, and the family.

My research has been published in journals such as the European Sociological Review, Journal of Marriage and Family, European Journal of Population, and International Journal of Social Research Methodology.
