My research is rooted in Analytical Sociology. First, I analyze the conditions, structures, and societal consequences of social networks. A second key area of my research focuses on integration in contexts shaped by migration and diversity. In this regard, my work concentrates on the social mechanisms of discrimination, segregation, social influence, and institutional change. Third, I study the conditions for educational equity and social cohesion among adolescents. By closely linking theory and empirical social research, my work contributes to the development of sociological theory. My methodological expertise is broad, encompassing approaches such as videography, social network analysis, simulations, and the evaluation of research methods.
