about me & my WORK

I locate my work at the intersection of gender & diversity as well as privileges & discrimination in connection with tech: I am head of the Diversity & Inclusion Office of the Executive Vice President for Talent Management and Diversity, Prof. Dr. Claudia Peus, at the Technical University of Munich. Here, I conceptualize and implement strategic activities to develop the EU's #1 academic institution into an even more diverse and inclusive university and employer. In addition, I investigate the mutual influence of technology and society in relation to gender, and specifically deal with privileges and discrimination in connection with Artificial Intelligence and social media. I give talks, keynotes and presentations, lead workshops, lectures and seminars, sit on and moderate panel discussions, and give interviews. I completed my PhD in Gender Studies in Engineering & Science at TUM, during which I was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley in the USA.
