I am a political scientist in the DFG research group Reconfiguration and Internalization of Social Structure at the Institute for Empirical-Analytical Research at Goethe University Frankfurt, and I am affailiated with the Cluster of Excellence "The Politics of Inequality" at the University Konstanz, where I worked for over 10 years. I serve as spokesperson of the standing group on elections and political attitudes of the German Political Science Association.

I specialize in political behavior, political inequality, political socialization, public policy, and applied methods. My book "Education Systems and Political Inequality - How Educational Institutions Shape Patterns of Political Participation", forthcoming with Cambridge University Press, showcases my expertise in these fields.

I feel priviledged to have lived and studied on four continents, among others at the University of Münster, the University of Konstanz, the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Duke University, and at the Université de Montréal.
