Other Activities

An academic, in my opinion, is not someone who sits in an ivory tower, but someone who is open to bringing what he or she knows to a wider audience.

I was the host of the Research-stories Podcast: Sustainable Finance Unleashed, a podcast from the research team at the Frankfurt School-UNEP Centre. I invited guests who offered unique opinions and new perspectives on sustainable finance. My aim was to bring academic insights to a wide audience. View a list of episodes below.

I wrote blogs  to share my knowledge about sustainability and lifelong learning. For example, I wrote about my thoughts on the link between risk management and sustainability after becoming a Certified Expert in Risk Management. I also wrote about my experience of studying for an advanced degree in mathematics at the London School of Economics while working full-time. View a list of blogs below.

Between 2021 and 2024, I provided research topics and academic guidance to high school students in Germany and abroad in the Young Economic Solutions competition. In the YES! Competition, each school team chooses a topic of high social and economic relevance. In 2024, the team I mentored won the regional final, a second win after the team I mentored last year won the regional final in 2023. I am happy to be part of the initiative to promote interest and engagement in sustainability studies among young scientists. View a list of topics and school teams below.
