I am a DPhil candidate in Social Policy, supported by the Clarendon Fund and Nuffield College, under the supervision of Prof. Erzsébet Bukodi. My research lies at the intersection of life course sociology and life course social policy, with a particular interest in methodological approaches that help me examine life-course trajectories across different institutional contexts. In my dissertation, I investigate how housing operates as a DESO component in the intergenerational transmission of (dis)advantage through semi-permanent housing tenure insecurity and housing wealth accumulation, from a cross-national comparative perspective. In one of my chapters, I specifically examine the intergenerational effects of the Right to Buy policy in the UK, which I argue has been understudied in social stratification research.

Prior to my DPhil, I completed a master’s degree in sociology at the Free University of Berlin. In my MA thesis, supervised by Prof. Heike Solga and Prof. Hannah Zagel, I examined the interplay between reproduction policies—particularly the permissiveness and generosity of abortion and contraception policies—and cross-national differences in family-related transitions to adulthood. During this time, I also worked as a research assistant in the WZB Berlin Social Science Center’s research group Varieties of Reproduction Regimes, contributing to the development of the data infrastructure for the International Reproduction Policy Database (IRPD).

For a couple of years, I contributed to a data repository documenting how religious ideologies and leaders have shaped narratives around war and peace in Georgia, Ukraine, Russia, and Karabakh.

Beyond academia, I am a documentary photography and football enthusiast.
