I studied social science at the Universities of Ratisbon and Hanover and went on researching and teaching at the Universities of Brunswick and Hamburg with focus on higher education and occupation in the field of Engineering, Science and Technology Studies (STS) and gender research. In 2003 I obtained a Dr. phil. at the University of Brunswick, writing my doctorate thesis on “Women in Engineering Studies”. In 2002 I worked at the research centre “Technology and Gender in Applied Sciences” at the Furtwangen University of the Applied Sciences and planned a research project about technical attitudes and interest of students in engineering studies. I continued this research at the Hamburg University of Technology since 2003. Currently I research in a project about female dropouts in engineering studies. Since 2003 I am also working on my postdoctoral lecture qualification dealing with gender constructions in the development and use of technology.
