I am a researcher interested in feminist science and technology studies, ethnography, and posthumanities. I investigate how bodies, technologies, and social orders are mutually constituted across sites such as robotics laboratories and emerging menstrual technologies. My work addresses questions of embodiment, technological mediation, technological destruction, knowledge production, and power relations.

How do bodies and menstrual technologies interconnect?

Within my Walter Benjamin Fellowship, I investigate the intimate entanglements between menstrual technologies and bodies by examining how such technologies re-/configure bodily experiences, practices, and forms of knowledge. Through a material-semiotic ethnography, my study ranges from analyses of everyday experiences and practices to examinations of the transformative potentials, frictions, vulnerabilities, and inequalities emerging from the global menstrual technologies industry.

How does robotics imagine “the human”?

At the heart of my doctoral thesis, I examined this question in the context of German robotics laboratories. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, I analyzed developmental practices including coding, building, testing, and publishing, focusing on how ideas of “the human” are enacted, negotiated, and stabilized in everyday technoscientific work.
