About me

I am the coordinator of the KIT Graduate School Cyber Security. Previously, I worked as a doctoral and postdoctoral researcher at the Chair for International Relations at the Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg where I focused on epistemic violence and decolonial peace and studied cross-communal cooperation in divided societies in Northern Ireland and on Cyprus through ethnographic field research. During my time as a doctoral researcher, I also went as a visiting researcher to the Tampere Peace Research Institute, Finland. I hold a Doctoral degree (Dr. phil.) in Peace and Conflict Studies, Master degrees in Philosophy and Peace and Conflict Studies and a Bachelor degree in Studies of Culture.
