Hi.

I am a researcher interested in work and labor relations, with a particular focus on how digitalisation and automation are transforming labor processes, employment relations, and power relations. My research examines how new technologies are reshaping the global organisation of work — from platform labour and AI-driven management decisions to the social, environmental and economic implications of these changes. I’m especially drawn to questions of power, inequality, and agency: who benefits, who is excluded, and how workers but also management navigate and resist these changes.

Currently, I work as a Senior Researcher at the Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin and look at how AI is ethically adopted in global value chains (GVCs), with a special focus on the Global South. My projects also include writing a book on social media content moderation in India, as well as research on meaningful work and migration in Germany. I hold an interdisciplinary PhD in Sociology and Communication Sciences from Freie Universität Berlin. And I am interested in engaging in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects on themes of work and employment relations, automation, AI, global value chains, and the political economy of inequality.

I am an active member of several academic and political networks and regularly share my research at academic and non-academic events. I also co-host an intersectional feminist podcast called Purple Code that brings forth female and queer voices on digital technologies.
