My current research project focuses on the portrayal of Orientalist Masculinities in English and Irish Romanticism in the early 19^th century. In my PhD project I dealt with the writing of the Bloody Sunday massacre (1972) in Irish poetry. I focused on the poetry of Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Medbh McGuckian, Seamus Deane and Thomas Kinsella and was completed in 2022 at Freie University Berlin.

In 2015, I completed a master’s degree in English Studies at Freie University Berlin and a master’s degree in Irish Studies at University College Dublin. My bachelor’s degree in English Philology and Political Science was completed at Freie University Berlin in 2013.
