I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of European Ethnology at Humboldt University Berlin and a member of the Laboratory: Anthropology of Environment I Human Relations.
My dissertation explores how the ecosystem concept, first coined in the early 20th century, is applied to technologically driven economic and social practices that connect urban regions like San Francisco and Berlin today.
During my field studies, I have been a visiting scholar at the Department of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley. My current areas of research and interest are socio-cultural anthropology, economic anthropology, science and technology studies, and urban anthropology.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in History and European Ethnology and and master’s degree in European Ethnology from Humboldt University Berlin and studied abroad in Anthropology at the University of Copenhagen.
