I am a personality psychologist by training and my work covers a broad range of topics, including the effects of birth order, age patterns in personality, and the correlates and determinants of subjective well-being. My methodological interests include causal inference on the basis of observational data and data analytic flexibility. I am an active advocate for increased research transparency and have frequently given talks on the topic.

I received my doctoral degree as a fellow of the International Max Planck Research School on the Life Course in 2019 and now work at the Wilhelm Wundt Institute for Psychology, Leipzig University.
