I'm a doctoral candidate in political science at the political science department at the University of Freiburg (Germany) and the research lab UMR 7363, Societé, Acteurs, Gouvernement en Europe at the University of Strasbourg/CNRS (France), thus taking advantage of franco-german cooperation intiatives and my  geographical location within the so-called "Dreiländereck".

In my dissertation I'm researching age-based/generational conflicts and political parties in Germany and France. This has lead to an additional research focus on party sub-organizations such as senior groups and party youth wings.

Outside the scope of my dissertation project, I'm interested in political representation (especially youth representation and the lack thereof) and political demography (ageing societies).  For more info on these topics, visit the projects and teaching pages.

Before starting my doctoral studies, I obtained my  master's degree  in Global Studies, an interdisciplinary social science program offered jointly  by the University of Freiburg, FLACSO Argentina and Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi . I also hold two bachelor degrees from the University of Freiburg in political science and economics.

Outside the academic sphere I'm active as a youth group leader and thus very open to collaborate on non-partisan political events for young people or first-time voters - feel free to reach out or have a look at the Outreach & Miscellaneous page to find examples :)
