About

My current research addresses (i) lifestyles and sustainable consumption, (ii) social inequality and well-being, (iii) the role of cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics for labor market outcomes and social mobility, and (iv) the application of Bayesian statistics to fallacies.

I am a guest researcher at the University of Bern (Institute of Sociology), a lecturer at the University of Basel (Social Research and Methodology Group), and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh (School of Social and Political Science). From 2012 to 2014, I was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge (Department of Sociology) and at Stanford University (Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality). I graduated in sociology, sustainable development, and modern history from the University of Basel in 2008, worked as a researcher with Prof. Dr. M. M. Bergman at the Chair of Social Research and Methodology (University of Basel) from 2009 to 2012, and obtained a PhD in sociology in 2012.
