About

PhD student at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and BOKU University in Vienna. Researching resource inequalities and wellbeing implications. Trying to dismantle all forms of hierarchies.

Details

I finished my Master Industrial Ecology at Leiden University and TU Delft. I followed classes on EEIOA, MFA, Spatial Data Analysis, Beyond Growth, Social Justice, EU Policy Making, and Coding in Python. My master's thesis was about sufficiency-enabling measures in the German housing sector reflecting on past neoliberal policies that hindered and are hindering a social ecological housing landscape in Germany.
