My research revolves around digital media from the perspective of phenomenology, aesthetics, and media theory. What I am currently working on is a PhD project entitled “Plaything Phenomenology. A Popular Aesthetics of Videogames”, funded by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes. After a total of three and a half years of working on my PhD at the Freie Universität Berlin, including one semester at the Center for Digital Play at the ITU Copenhagen, I successfully defended my dissertation in January 2025!
Currently, I’m a guest lecturer at Universität der Künste Berlin.
You will also find me organizing stuff for the Network for Good Labor in Academia (NGAWiss) to keep the debate around the precarity of Germany’s university employees alive.
