In the “TRANSNORMS” project (2019-2026) led by Thomas Risse, we investigate the translation of international norms by state and non-state actors. Using quantitative data analysis (primarily: topic modeling), we study the areas of climate governance and human rights.

Moreover, as member of the “Global Pathways” project, I study the field of International Relations with an emphasis on how knowledge spreads. This interdisciplinary research group draws on ideas from the sociology of science, network analysis, and bibliometrics.

My Ph.D. research is summarized in my book, Towards a Global Consensus Against Corruption. It compares the contents and legal design of international anti-corruption agreements.
