I studied Physics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and currently I am working on my PhD in applied stochastics at Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin (WIAS).
I initiated I, Scientist because I would like to increase the visibility of female role models with background in the natural sciences and mathematics. Moreover I observe that many women opt out after completing their PhD and think that there should be a broad discussion about the reasons. I believe that, in this context, it is important to talk about dual career options and how to combine a family with a successful career.
