About Me

I am Junior Professor of Geographies of Transformation and Spatial Justice at the University of Greifswald. I received my PhD in political science from the University of Mannheim in 2025.

My research sits at the intersection of political geography and electoral behavior. I study how spatial disparities and social, economic, and ecological transformations shape political attitudes and party preferences, how people perceive their living conditions relative to others, and what drives place-based resentments. Alongside these substantive questions, I am interested in the methodological challenges that arise when linking survey data with spatial and regional data sources.

Before moving to Greifswald, I was a doctoral and postdoctoral researcher at GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences. There, I worked as a data curator for the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) and, from 2023, at the Competence Center for Data Quality in the Social Sciences (KODAQS), where I developed learning content on data quality for the KODAQS Academy and contributed to the KODAQS Toolbox, an open-source platform for assessing errors in linked survey data.
