Question
01

Woran arbeitest Du gerade mit besonders viel Leidenschaft?

What particularly excites me about my work at the moment is looking at social inequalities from a multidimensional perspective and focusing more attention on mechanisms that have received less attention to date.

Question
02

What was the most exciting insight you gained from a project?

Recently, I found it exciting to see the productive and consensus-oriented discussions that arise when people come together and talk about socially relevant issues—e.g., what it takes to live a fulfilling life.

Question
03

How do you start your workday?

I start every day at the office with a cup of coffee and a pretzel. I usually read the news or my emails and get an overview of what's coming up. After this ritual, I'm ready for my first appointments.
