Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Sociology and Social Psychology (ISS) at the University of Cologne. Additionally, I am a research fellow at the Crime Events in Context research group at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), and at the Crim-Ap research group at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU.

My research focuses on understanding the spatial and temporal variation of antisocial behavior, crime perceptions, and public opinion. I employ computational social science methods and research synthesis techniques to analyze complex social phenomena. Over the past few years, I have been actively learning and applying open science principles, working to enhance transparency and reproducibility in social research.
