Welcome to my website!

I am a Political Scientist in the interdisciplinary research group “International Rule of Law: Rise or Decline?” at Free University Berlin and research associate at the Global Governance Centre at the Graduate Institute Geneva. I earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of Potsdam, where I also worked as a researcher and lecturer in International Relations.

My research broadly engages questions in international law, human rights and social justice. To address them, I enjoy collaborating with colleagues within and beyond my discipline. Research and teaching stays brought me to Madrid, San Diego, Geneva and Stockholm. For my research, I received the United Nations Association of Germany Dissertation Award and external funding from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service and the German Research Foundation.
