From my days as a medical journalist to my current job as a researcher of health technologies and inequalities, issues of medicine and healthcare have always been at the center of my personal and academic interests. I recently completed my stay as a visiting scholar at the Freeman Spogli Institute and Global Studies – Europe Center at Stanford University, CA, as well as at Bonn University at the Center for Social Ethics. In 2024, I was a Fulbright Scholar and visiting fellow at the Center for Precision Medicine and Genomics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYC. In my position as a PostDoc researcher at CeSCoS (Center for the Study of Contemporary Solidarity) at the University of Vienna I work on topics related to digital health technologies and data, telemedicine, patient and healthcare workers safety, gender in medicine, as well as ethics of digitalization. I also teach at the University of Vienna on health policy, medical ethics, and research methods, and at the Medical University of Vienna on  problem-oriented learning. Further, I lead the research ethics forum for the Vienna Doctoral School of Science. 

With my background in Science & Technology Studies, Communications, and Political Science, I always try to think the issues I work on as multi-dimensional to effect actual change – integrating how medical knowledge is made, communicated, and negotiated in the political arena. I completed my PhD at the University of Vienna, Department of Political Science, on Type 1 Diabetes technologies and the policy processes surrounding them in Austria in February 2023.
