Hi! I am a PhD student at Complexity Science Hub in Vienna and TU Graz, and a Computer Science graduate of RWTH Aachen University and FH Aachen University.

In my research I study how inequalities between a minority and majority group can emerge from local collaboration behavior, most often centering around gender disparities in scientific collaboration networks. My research projects are made possible by the collaborators from the Network Inequality Group lead by Fariba Karimi.

Beyond my research interests, I am very passionate about bouldering, hiking, books and movies. Feel free to drop me a message in case you want to discuss any of my research, or anything else really.

2023-11-08 DOC-fellowship stipend

Exciting News! I’m honored to share that I’ve been awarded the “DOC” stipend by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, granting me two full years of independent funding. This enables me to pursue my research project titled “Network Inequality and its Effect on the Glass Ceiling Phenomenon.”
