I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Research Priority Area AI & Politics. My research investigates how Civil Society Organisations are involved in shaping the policy-making processes for AI regulation in the EU.

In 2024, I obtained my PhD at the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge. My dissertation, The Impact of Protest on Policy-Making in the European Union, investigated the mechanisms of protest impact in the EU with a focus on the European Parliament. During my PhD, I was a Kurt Hahn Scholar at the University of Cambridge, an Honorary Benefactors’ Scholar at St John’s College, Cambridge, and I held the YouGov Studentship at the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge (2020 - 2023). Previously, I held a German National Academic Foundation Scholarship (Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes, 2015-2020).
