I am a post-doctoral researcher working on forced migration and integration. Since fall 2015, I have been contributing to the Displaced Persons in Austria Survey (DiPAS), one of the first European studies on the human capital of refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Refugee Health and Integration Survey (ReHIS) on refugees’ health access and mental health. I am affiliated with the Wittgenstein Center for Demography and Global Human Capital (IIASA, VID / ÖAW, WU) and teach at the University of Vienna and the University of Applied Sciences for Management & Communication. Besides my academic work, I regularly publish in the Austrian weekly FALTER and serve on the board of the Schumpeter Society Vienna.
My most current research project, the Women’s Integration Survey (WIN): Inclusion, Participation and Enablement of Refugee Women in Austria (2019-2021), explored gendered pathways of social, economic and cultural integration.
