Coming from an International Relations and Sociology background, and having dealt myself intensely with constructivist theories and security studies, I am currently working on the relation between security, security technologies and ethics. My main research interests and topics are security studies, international relations, sociology, international political sociology, societal security habitus, securitization, human security, governmentality, and ethics.

Research Networks and Activity:

• Project THEBEN (Terahertz detection systems: Ethical support, evaluation and standardization) 
• Fachdialog Sicherheitsforschung des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung Deutschland (expert dialogue on security research of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research Germany)
• Arbeitsgruppe 1: Sicherheitsbewusstsein und Sicherheitsanforderungen in der Gesellschaft (Working Group 1: Security awareness and security requirements in society)
• Arbeitsgruppe 3/4: Wandel der Staatlichkeit / Sicherheitsrelevante Akteure (Working Group 3 / 4: The changing role of the state / security relevant actors)
