I am a junior professor in sociology at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute. My research agenda tackles questions related to the determinants and consequences of people's social and economic mobility over the life course.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Cathie Marsh Centre of Census and Survey Research, University of Manchester and I worked in the survey quality team of the European Social Survey at the University of Leuven.
