I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Bamberg, working in the evaluation team of the projects DiSo-SGW and DiaS that are part of 'lernen:digital'. Before I was the project coordinator of the panel of teacher education students (LAP) at LIfBi. In my dissertation, I'm addressing the question of why student teachers do not obtain a teaching degree or do not enter the teaching profession despite having a degree. I'm also doing research on teachers' digital competence and professional development.
