I am a data scientist who has split my time between the tech industry and public-interest technology work. I'm very interested in the ways in which better security practices can safeguard human rights and bolster democratic foundations with a particular focus on (collective) privacy. I studied Statistics and Economics as an undergrad and live in Berlin.

I'm looking forward to meeting members of the I School community, so don't hesitate to reach out.

Some (very broad) topics that I want to learn more about and that have piqued my interest over the past few years include:

• Cyberinsurance & Undervaluation of Cyber Risk
• Marketization of privacy
• Digital Forensics
• Cybersecurity as a public good
• Technosolutionism
• The role of art in fostering digitial literacy
