I am a senior researcher at the University of Osnabrück, Germany. My research focusses on international migration and urban developments and, more broadly, on the interrelation of materiality and sociality in postmodern societies. I habilitated at the Department of Geography, University of Bremen, Germany, in 2019 (venia legendi “Humangeographie”) and obtained my PhD at Bielefeld University, Germany, in 2013. In 2017, I was a Visiting Academic at the Department of Geography at Durham University, UK. My most recent book is Infrastrukturen der Stadt (Springer VS), edited with Michael Flitner and Julia Lossau.
