I am working as PostDoc at the Chair of Cultural Geography and Development Research at the Institute of Geography of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, where I am focusing on the topics immigration to rural areas, rural tourism and regional development. I graduated in Cultural Geography from the same university and hold a B.A. and M.A. (with distinction) degree as well as a PhD. I am active member of the “Working Group Rural Spaces” (“Arbeitskreis Ländliche Räume”) and "Working Group Geographical Migration Research" (Arbeitskreis Geographische Migrationsforschung) within the German Association of Geography (DGfG). Since 2016, I am also member of the German “Refugee Research Network” (“Netzwerk Fluchtforschung”).
