I am an architectural historian, media scholar, and curator based in Munich, Germany. As of January 2026, I hold the position of Deputy Head of Archives at the Deutsches Museum.

Additionally, I co-lead the DFG Research Network WAS: Impact Research in Architecture and Urbanism. In my research and projects, I’m interested in architecture and bureaucracy, knowledge production through non-architectural media and actors, archives and material storytelling, critical histories of planning, and artistic works engaging with architecture. My writing has appeared in academic journals and artistic publications, including the catalogues of the Architecture Museum of TUM, Architectural Theory Review, JAE, sub\urban, Die Architekt, and the architectural exhibition review.

I hold a Ph.D. (summa cum laude) from KIT Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, received in 2024 with the thesis “From Farms to the 'New Frontier': The Planning of UC Irvine's Educational Environment, 1932-1965,” which was awarded the KIT Dissertation Prize 2024, marking the first time it has been awarded to a Doctor of Philosophy. A book based on this research is under contract with Birkhäuser and is expected to be published in late 2026. Between 2024–2025, I was a postdoctoral researcher KIT and the saai | Archive for Architecture and Civil Engineering, where I initiated the audio platform Archive Gossip.

My doctoral research was carried out between 2020 and 2023 at the LOEWE Excellence Cluster “Architectures of Order. Practices and Discourses between Design and Knowledge” at Goethe University Frankfurt, where I also taught in the Department of Media Studies. During that time and since, I was supported and invited to speak about my research at the SAH Annual Conference, EAHN Biannual Conference, UCLA, University of Copenhagen, TU Munich, TU Darmstadt, University of Bremen, Central Institute of Art History Munich (ZIKG), Fritz-Hüser-Institute Dortmund, and Art University Linz.

Previously, I was an assistant curator at the Architecture Museum of TU Munich, where I worked on exhibitions and catalog production, including “Die Neue Heimat,” “The Architecture Machine,” and “DesignBuild in Architecture,” and taught Bachelor's and Master's students. During my time at the AM, I collaborated with the psychiatric university hospital of TUM (Klinikum Rechts der Isar) to conduct museum and city tours for patients from the open ward. In Frankfurt, I cooperate with Architects4Future and Scientists4Future for architecture tours to draw attention to the “old” university campus in Bockenheim–where I also studied–featuring many unprotected buildings by architect Ferdinand Kramer.

I hold degrees in Art History, Media Studies, and Curatorial Studies from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Städelschule Academy of Fine Arts. During my studies, I received fellowships from the German Federal Government Fellowship (Deutschlandstipendium) and the German Institute for Art History, Paris (DFK). In 2017, I curated the cabinet exhibition “Treasures from the Archive 7: Zaha Hadid” at DAM, and in 2018, a performance series at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt.
