As a research associate to Junior Professor Dr. Ulrike Henny-Krahmer, I am involved in both teaching and research within the field of Digital Humanities, in addition to contributing to academic self-administration.

At the same time, I am a team member on the project »KI-gestützte Unterrichtsplanung II« (AI-supported teaching II) within the field of German Didactics, which is funded as part of the Zukunftsvertrag Studium und Lehre stärken (ZSL). In this position, I am responsible for designing, developing, and adapting a digital self-learning program aimed at introducing prospective German teachers to the use of AI-based applications.

My research interests are twofold: On one hand, I specialize in women's history and women's writing, with a particular focus on dramatic works. On the other hand, I am deeply engaged in the field of Digital Humanities, particularly with quantitative approaches to literature and digital methods for indexing and editing texts. I am also interested in exploring the impact of the digital transformation on humanities education.

Born in northeastern Germany, I studied at the University of Rostock, where I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in History and German Studies. During my postgraduate studies, I worked as a student assistant at the Junior Professorship for Digital Humanities and the Uwe Johnson Professorship for Modern German Literature. I also gained initial teaching experience as a teaching assistant during that time.

Since 2023, I have been contributing to the »Drama Corpora Project« (DraCor), where I am enriching the collection of German-language drama (GerDraCor) with works by female authors. This work is closely linked to my ongoing PhD project at Freie Universität Berlin, which sits at the intersection of Computational Literary Studies and Gender Studies.
