moving researchers forward

Welcome!


Glad to see you here


I am a Research and Study Program Manager moving researchers forward at the University of Lucerne. As a Research Manager at the Grants Office, I support researchers across a broad range of human sciences. As a Study Program Manager at the Department of Political Science, I support future researchers that study the Lucerne Master in Computational Social Sciences (LUMACSS) and coordinate the Digital Skills Program. My background is in political science and my own research analyzes migration-related politics and policies.
I am addicted to good music across a wide variety of genres and I love abstract modern art. I have also produced some non-professional music (multiple genres) and created various pieces of art myself in a more distant past. My spiritual self is fascinated by certain philosophies and practices, namely Advaita Vedanta and Non-Duality as well as mindfulness and compassion. Meanwhile, my ego still thinks that achievements matter and hence continues to cling to the world and suffer. I am so glad that the drama of life is ultimately illusory. Let's meet on the other side!
