I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute Labour and Economy (Institut Arbeit und Wirtschaft, iaw) at the University of Bremen. My work focuses on the DFG-funded project EUParadox, which examines the effects of emigration on labour markets in countries of origin. From 2021 to 2024, I coordinated the Hans Böckler Foundation-funded doctoral programme „Gerechtigkeit durch Tarifvertrag„ (Justice through Collective Bargaining) at the Institute for Labour Law at Freie Universität Berlin.
Between 2017 and 2021, I pursued my doctoral studies at the Institute of Political Science at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, where I completed my thesis on the New European Labour Policy Regime. This work was published by Campus Verlag under the title New European Labour Policy: Controversial Integration in the Euro Crisis (Neue Europäische Arbeitspolitik. Umkämpfte Integration in der Eurokrise). The thesis explores how the management of the euro crisis has partially Europeanised labour policy. Prior to this, I authored a book with SpringerVS analysing the impact of European crisis policies on French labour market and pension reforms.
My research interests lie in the political economy of European integration and labour regulation. My previous work has primarily addressed issues related to labour and social policy, collective bargaining, and the evolution of employers’ associations across Europe. Currently, I am investigating legal disputes surrounding collective labour law as well as the strategies employed by employers’ associations in collective bargaining and litigation within Europe.
