I am a philosopher and historian of science and technology. My primary research interests lie in exploring women and gender issues at the intersection of physics, mathematics, computing, and AI. I am currently the Principal Investigator of a DFG-funded project at the Technical University of Munich, examining the role of women in the history of quantum physics, with a particular focus on Grete Hermann. I hold a PhD in Philosophy from Paderborn University. Previously, I served as a substitute professor of the history of technology at TUM, led a research group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Siegen, and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists at Paderborn University.
