As a curious social scientist and Professor of Technology Assessment & Cultural Management, I am passionate about bridging the gap between theory and practice. My work focuses on the societal implications of emerging technologies, exploring how they shape our future. I also have a love for topics of (life long) learning, future skills and education — understanding which skills will be crucial in the future and how individuals across all life stages can develop them.

I have a rich academic background in economics, political sciences, cultural management, and sustainability from prestigious institutions like Zeppelin University, Maastricht University, LMU Munich, and UC Berkeley. I have cultivated a broad expertise in assessing the societal and ethical implications of emerging technologies. Between 2013 and 2018, I was part of the management team at the renowned Munich Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) and earned my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition. Today, I mainly focus on topics like Futures Literacy, Responsible Innovation, and Ethical Foresight for emerging technologies.

Before entering academia full-time, I worked as a consultant and advisor for several companies on topics of strategy, innovation and transformation.

In 2021, I was selected for a Fellowship for Innovation in Higher Education by the German Stifterverband and the Baden-Württemberg Foundation. Ever since, I am committed to fostering entrepreneurial competencies through innovative, game-based learning methods.

In 2022, I co-founded the Bavarian Foresight Institute, where my colleagues and I conduct interdisciplinary research projects on technology-oriented foresight and the associated economic and social interdependencies.
