About me
Working at the intersection of social sciences, public policy, and creative communication, I combine interdisciplinary research with 'out-of-the-box' thinking and visual arts.
​
I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford. I am also a member of the Refugee Economies Programme, the Refugee Studies Centre, Jesus College Oxford, and the Oxford Department of International Development. I grew up in southern Germany and hold a MA in Political Science from Heidelberg University.
​
I am a Heinrich Böll Foundation PhD Fellow and Jesus College Oxford Graduate Scholar.
Research
I am a DPhil candidate at the Oxford Department of International Development. In my research, I explore the economic lives of refugees, as well as the history and politics of refugee assistance and humanitarian aid. My research is interdisciplinary, combining economics, political science, and history. It draws upon both, qualitative and quantitative methods.
