Hello and Willkommen! 👋
I am a sociologist and demographer at the Research Data Centre of the Institute for Employment Research (FDZ-IAB) in Nuremberg.
My research agenda spans two broader areas: the gendered consequences of parenthood for labour market outcomes, specifically, a comparative France-Germany project on mothers’ employment trajectories and ongoing work on fathers’ parental leave. Additonally, rooted in my dissertation, I am interested the social consequences of imbalanced sex ratios for relationship formation, risk-taking, and violence.
I also regularly teach courses on applied statistics and programming in R and Stata – for social scientists across all levels, from undergraduate students to PhD researchers and beyond, in German and English. My teaching is informed by hands-on experience with reproducible research workflows – including version control, clean code, and documented pipelines – gained through my work with large-scale administrative data at the FDZ-IAB.
About me
I design and deliver courses on applied statistics and programming for social scientists – covering everything from data wrangling and visualization to regression and reproducible workflows. If you are looking for a dedicated instructor, feel free to reach out – I’d be happy to collaborate!
