My research interests lie in political socialization and political attitude/support research. Below, you will find an overview of the research projects.
In smaller and more extensive research projects, I developed my skills in planning and organizing projects and discovering and consolidating my strength in team collaboration. In addition, I steadily expanded my skills in the application and evaluation of quantitative data analysis.
One of my strengths lies in understanding large amounts of information, a crucial skill in my research endeavors. I specialize in distilling complex information into meaningful insights, enabling a deeper understanding of the topics under discussion.

With Michael Hunklinger, I deal with the effects on the voting behavior of LGBTIQ*. In particular, we are investigating how group-specific attitudes impact voting decisions and participation behavior.
In my doctoral thesis, I dealt intensively with the theoretical conditions of the different levels of political support in the field of political support research in the context of consolidated democracies in Central and Eastern Europe. I examined these possible interactions, taking economic effects into account.
