I am a research associate in the research group Biotechnologies, Nature and Society at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Goethe University Frankfurt. My postdoctoral research project deals with the promissory and speculative dimensions of cryopreserved umbilical cord blood and is part of the ERC-funded project CRYOSOCIETIES.
From 2016 to 2019, I was a doctoral researcher at the Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems and the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. In my dissertation, I ethnographically address responsibility relations and economic growth in the realm of commercial food production and distribution.
I am interested in the social anthropology of science and technology, economic anthropology and the sociology of markets, theories of responsibility, and organizational studies.
