Research interests: Comparative Urban History in the late Middle Ages and Early Modern Age, Digital Prosopography, Historical Network Analysis, Austrian Regional History

Current research project: Großes Kloster, kleine Stadt. Verflechtungen städtischer Gruppen und geistlicher Institutionen am Beispiel von Klosterneuburg im späten Mittelalter (working title). Taking the Late Medieval town of Klosterneuburg in the Austrian Danube region (situated north of Vienna) as an example, my PhD-thesis is conceived as a case-study on practices of social cohesion and various entanglements of urban elites. It aims at focusing on social and horizontal mobility of various groups of Klosterneuburg as well as on their property management, administrative functions, marital alliances and strategies of religious endowments from the late 14th until the early 16th century.
