Research Focus

Since July 2026, I have been working as a Research Associate at the Chair of Social Structure and Sociology of Ageing Societies at TU Dortmund University. My doctoral research examines regional differences in home-based long-term care utilization in Germany and Japan and how these relate to the wellbeing of older adults. More broadly, I am interested in how social, community, and regional environments influence health and wellbeing in later life.
