Research Topics and Working Areas
I am Associate Professor of Sociology of Social Policy in the Department of Social Sciences at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Senior Research Fellow at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin). My main research interests are in social inequalities over and between life courses of individuals in divergent institutional contexts focusing on the family, wealth, and employment. I mainly work with longitudinal survey data.
