My current research focuses on automatic behavior, the impact of self-regulation and cognitive processes on prejudice, social discrimination, and also on prosocial behavior. In addition, I have also been conducting research on the development and evaluation of bystander intervention training programs (Zivilcourage), as well as being involved in their implementation. Furthermore, I am interested in the concept of heritage and related behaviors.
In 2007, I was mentioned as one of the TOP 5 Young Researchers in Germany by the Die ZEIT/academic.de competition.
