(Civil Service Traineeship as Academic Librarian)
University Library Johann Christian Senckenberg
I am a trainee academic librarian at the University Library Johann Christian Senckenberg in Frankfurt. My main focus is on research services, particularly research data management and Open Access.
In September 2025, I defended a PhD thesis in Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. In my thesis titled "A crisis without replication: Replication, the current crisis in psychology, and Open Science investigated using insights from metascience", I focused on conceptual issues surrounding the replication crisis in psychology.
I also have a background in empirical meta-research: I used to do this at the QUEST Center for Responsible Research at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and I am an affiliate of the meta-research innovation centre at Stanford (METRICS).
In 2018, together with Amy Orben and Sam Parsons, I founded the journal club initiative ReproducibiliTea to provide a space for early career researchers to come together and discuss both the latest developments in and the challenges of Open Science in their fields. I remain connected to ReproducibiliTea as a member of the advisory board.
