Teaching: I am mainly focused on teaching research methods (especially in the masters), but I also advise students in empirical seminars, bachelor seminars or master seminars. Additionally, I co-host the specialization module “Data Science and Reproducible Science” in the master together with A.o. Prof. Anton Kühberger.

Research: As Senior Scientist, my main task is to support all research going on in my working group and to make sure that all of my colleagues have everything they need to conduct their research in an optimal way. My research is thus broad and includes topics from all of my colleagues: published works span from scale development (e.g. gender roles, math anxiety,…), over general personality research focusing on conscientiousness and leadership potential to the perception of high-stakes situations.
