In my project work at the Cluster of Excellence Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture (IntCDC) and in my research at the institute, I examine the city and specifically urban densification as a relational and multiple assemblage. Methodologically, my focus lies on qualitative and mixed methods research; theoretically, I focus on Actor-Network Theory, assemblages, and posthumanism. For the project Augmented Qualitative Analysis (AQA), I am developing novel methods for qualitative data analysis based on the dialogical and transparent use of Large Language Models.

I am trained interdisciplinarily in both the cultural sciences and the social sciences. At the University of Vienna, I studied Comparative Literature (BA), Theatre, Film, and Media Studies (BA), and Science-Technology-Society (MA). Since July 2022, I have been working as a research associate and doctoral candidate at the Chair and at the Cluster of Excellence Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture (IntCDC), primarily for the project RP18-2 Holistic Quality Model for Extension of Existing Buildings. With the winter semester 2025/26, I began my teaching activities for the Master's program Planning and Participation as well as for the Bachelor's program Social Sciences. Since October 2025, I have also been involved in the research project Augmented Qualitative Analysis (AQA).
