Welcome to my website!

I am a PhD Researcher in Sociology at the Cluster The Politics of Inequality and Gender Studies Group at the University of Konstanz, Germany.

My main research interests are social inequalities at work, at home, and across countries. In my dissertation, I research the consequences of flexible working arrangements, such as flexible scheduling and working from home, for work-life conflict, the division of paid and unpaid work and gender inequality in Germany and across Europe. I use longitudinal and cross-sectional data to answer the research questions.

Before joining the Cluster of Excellence, I completed my Master's at Free University Berlin in 2021. Alongside my studies, I worked as a student assistant at the Berlin Social Science Center, University of Potsdam and Free University Berlin. I received my Bachelor's Degree from the National Research University Higher School of Economics in Moscow in 2018.
