Profil auf Deutsch

Curriculum Vitae

I am a professor of musicology at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. My main areas of research and teaching are 20th and 21st century music history, opera, intermediality, aesthetics and philosophy of music as well as music in digital cultures. I completed my Masters and Doctorate in Musicology at LMU Munich. Following my work as an opera dramaturge at the St. Gallen Theatre in Switzerland, I was appointed as an Assistant Professor in Musicology at the LMU Munich (2016–2022). I welcome enquiries from potential PhD students working in areas related to my research interests.
