Hello Welcome to my website!
I am currently pursuing a Master’s in History at both the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Germany) and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Paris (France) through a bilateral program offered by the Franco-German University (DFH). Beyond my academic journey, I am deeply passionate about science communication. This page provides an opportunity to learn more about my background and ongoing work.
Profile
In the spring of 2022, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in History and Political Science for secondary school teaching at the University of Heidelberg. In October 2022, I began my Master’s in the Franco-German History program, which led me to spend a year in Paris, followed by another year at the University of Oregon, USA. Throughout my studies, I developed a deep passion for both the academic exploration of my fields and the challenge of making complex ideas accessible to a wider audience. For me, sharing knowledge is a societal responsibility—communication, after all, builds bridges. You can find more details about my academic and professional journey in my CV.
Research
As part of my three-year trilateral Master’s program, my current research focuses on early modern historical themes. My project, titled Engagés Across Empires: German-Speaking Migration to French Colonial Louisiana and Guiana in the Eighteenth Century, examines German-speaking engagés active in the French colonies of Louisiana (1720) and French Guiana (1763). It explores key questions in Atlantic Studies, migration history, early modern colonial history, and subaltern studies.
During my Bachelor’s degree, I conducted interdisciplinary research in history and political science, with a particular emphasis on Franco-German and transatlantic topics, both historical and contemporary. My Bachelor’s thesis, Role Conflicts in the Fronde: Condé and Mazarin 1648-1653, analyzed political dynamics during this turbulent period in French history.
