Since April 2018 I worked as a senior researcher at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Transport Research and led the research group for Strategic Freight Transport Forecast, after internal restructuring Service Planning for Transport Logistics, from February 2019 to March 2025. From February 2021 to July 2023, I was the deputy head of the Department for Commercial Transport, after internal restructuring Transport Markets and Services. Since December 2025, I work as a project coordinator at the Department of Institutional and Strategic Planning at the Institute of Transport Research. I completed my doctorate in June 2018 at the Institute of Transport Logistics at TU Dortmund University, with a dissertation entitled "Strategic Transport Forecast – A Feedback Approach between a Macroscopic Extrapolation and a Microscopic Transport Simulation". I worked there as a research assistant from September 2011 to March 2018, focusing on freight transport modelling using System Dynamics and microscopic, agent-based transport simulation. I also employed various methods of empirical social research and statistics. From 2016 to 2018, I led the research group for transport modelling and process planning there.
