My life/work motto

Always stay curious.

My measures to promote diversity

I try to create a supportive environment in which all colleagues and young scientists feel valued and taken seriously. I am always available for personal conversations, feedback, or questions—regardless of hierarchy or experience.

My recommendations for young female researchers on the academic career path
