I am a political scientist working in the Data Lab of the German Chancellery. Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher in political science at the University of Oldenburg and an interim professor at the University of Bremen.

I continue to do research in political science even though I am no longer employed at an university. My research focuses on questions in the fields of comparative politics, political behavior, and representation. I am also interested in quantitative methods. Together with Christina-Marie Juen and Martin Gross I am leading a DFG-funded project on Independent Local Lists in Germany.
