Hi there,

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Helmut-Schmidt University/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg at the Chair for Digital Governance and Service Design. Previously, I worked at the University of Duisburg-Essen in a DFG-funded project on alternative approaches to intellectual property in the music and pharmaceutical industries. Most of my work deals with questions of access to knowledge and how (non-)access influences creative processes for both human and non-human actors. Specifically, I have been interested in creative work and practice, issues of music commissioning, and the influence of digital platforms on relationships and markets in the creative economy. I am the author of a monograph on "Liminal Creativity" and my work has been published in Organization and Research in the Sociology of Organizations, among others.

In my spare time, I fancy theory of architecture and art history. In a distant future I hope to write a second dissertation about (a yet undetermined) aspect of skyscrapers (something along the lines of aesthetics of urban canyons, maybe...).
