Curriculum Vitae
In my research I focus on the cultural and social history of technology and media. I appreciate working in interdisciplinary teams and commit to collaborative workspaces characterized by mutual respect. Since April 2020, I have been a lecturer at the Institute for the History of Medicine and Science Studies and a research associate at the Ethical Innovation Hub, both at the University of Lübeck.
In 2025, I will spend - thanks to a Spark Grant by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) - a year with the Section d'Histoire at the University of Lausanne to pursue research on the cultural and technological history of the Lausanne radio studios in La Sallaz.
