DPhil in International Relations

I am a DPhil candidate in International Relations (IR), having joined Nuffield as an MPhil student in IR in 2022. My interests include the governance, funding, and crises of international organisations, gender and feminist thinking, and political and international theory.

Prior to the MPhil, I completed a BSc in Political Science at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), including an Erasmus+ semester at Sciences Po Paris. In parallel, I completed a BA in Romance Philology and Economics at LMU Munich. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant at TUM and interned with the Permanent Representation of Germany to the EU.

Besides my studies, I am passionately committed to promoting equality of opportunities in higher education, including as Co-Head of Team Germany of Project Access and as a student representative at Nuffield College. Furthermore, I am a mediocre but passionate trombonist in several groups, including Green Templeton College Bigband and Musikkapelle Altötting e.V. At several occasions, I have also performed as a satirist and parodist (esp. of Bavarian politicians, book me!).
