Welcome! I am a sociologist and Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow at Nuffield College, University of Oxford.

My research interests are in the fields of social cohesion, intergroup relations, immigrant integration, social network analysis, and quantitative methods more generally. I received my PhD from the University of Mannheim in 2023 with a thesis on the gendered nature of intergroup relations between Muslim and non-Muslim youth. On this webpage, you find an overview of my publications and my CV.
