Research focus

»Since March 2022, I am a research associate at the Chair of Social Structure and Sociology of Aging Societies. Within the project From Prediction to Agile Interventions in the Social Science (FAIR), I work with an interdisciplinary team on the adaption, further development and application of innovative methods from the data science for social science research questions. I am interested in topics such as labor market, education and further training, health and health care, social inequalities as well as technological change.«
