I am a PhD candidate at Scuola Normale Superiore. My research focuses on mobilization strategies of transnational climate movements and their economic impacts. Using a mixed-methods design, I combine process tracing, comparative analysis, and event study analysis to bridge quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. In my PhD research, I am adopting a processual perspective, emphasizing the viewpoints and agency of movement actors.

I completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Sciences at Humboldt University Berlin with a scholarship from the Heinrich Böll Foundation, graduating with distinction. In 2023, I taught the course “Sociology of the Teenage Girl” at Humboldt University.

In 2025, I was elected to the board the German institute for protest and movement research ipb.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
