About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Weber Institute at Heidelberg University within the ERC-SOCDEBT project, led by Nora Waitkus. In this capacity, I work on projects around debt accumulation over the life course and across population subgroups. Concurrently, I am a visiting research fellow at the University of Southampton’s ESRC Centre for Population Change.

My broader research interests thread two domains: (i) social stratification and social demography and (ii) labor market institutions. I am specifically interested in workers’ socio-demographic responses to employment uncertainty and mobilization responses to insufficiency and discontent. In doing so, I employ a range of quantitative methods (descriptive, quasi-experimental, and experimental designs) on both representative surveys and novel collected data, focusing on country-specific contexts. My research has been published in the European Sociological Review, the British Journal of Industrial Relations, Social Science Research, and Industrial Relations, among others.

I obtained my PhD in 2024 from the DYNAMICS Program jointly based at the Hertie School Berlin and Humboldt University Berlin.
