I am a doctoral researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt’s Department of International Institutions and a PhD Candidate at the Goethe University Frankfurt. My research focuses on Russian foreign and domestic policy and relations between Russia, the EU, and NATO. I examine the effects of international institutions on the crisis between Russia and the West.

I am also the Co-Chair of one of the largest volunteer-run youth associations in the German-Russian context DRJUG e.V., an alumni association of the Russian-German Youth Parliament.
