I am a Research Fellow at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt. Prior to joining PRIF, I was a Research Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies and received my doctorate from the University of Konstanz.
My research spans geoeconomics and security studies, focusing on economic sanctions, military alliances, and international economic networks. As part of the Targeting project at GIGA, I am co-creating a dataset on targeted sanctions against individuals and entities. At PRIF, I work on developing indicators of global polarisation.
In my dissertation (funded by the Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft), I studied how asymmetric military alliances shape economic sanctions. Beyond my research, I am dedicated to developing courses that foster both academic and personal growth in my students.
