Analytical Network Mapping for Complex, Sensitive Sources As a follow-up to my archival research on previously unpublished interrogation records, I mapped the interconnections between interrogators and individuals mentioned in the files, using Palladio by Standford University. By translating fragmented records into relational structures, this approach reveals patterns that are not immediately visible in the source material and supports interpretation in complex, sensitive contexts. Atatched is a glimpse of the mapped dataset. Names are redacted, but the interconnections remain visible.

Analytical Research for Complex and Sensitive Source Material Multi-month analytical research on previously unpublished archival interrogation records (1944, Cologne region), involving historically and ethically sensitive primary sources. My focus lay on decoding and transforming complex, unstructured materials into a research-ready dataset through variable definition and categorization. It required continuous analytical judgment, balancing reduction with responsibility towards the source. The project demonstrated that structure is never neutral, it shapes insight itself. Attached is an excerpt of my dataset, all names are redacted to preserve sensitivity.

Archival Research & History Reconstruction In a project, I translated and analyzed WWII archival files from the British National Archives to reconstruct a war crime. Collaborating with fellow researchers, I pieced together archival evidence, verified facts and, and crafted a narrative that made this complex history accessible and engaging for the public. This project showed me how detailed research can uncover hidden stories and bring history vividly into the present.

I enjoy diving into research topics that may seem obscure at first, but reveal deep analytical insight. For example, in a seminar, I explored the case of Christian Wolf, examining how his story is treated in Schiller's writing (The criminal of Lost Honor 1786) and through Foucault's analytical lens. This work illustrates how societal power, discipline, and social recognition shape and individual, a small slice of history with big impact for understanding decisions, responsibility, and social structures. For me, it's a perfect example of how analysis illuminates political and social dynamics, and how even seemingly minor subjects can carry profound significance.

Celebrating Cinema Through Data: Diane Keaton at 80 Some projects go beyond numbers. To honor the 80th birthday of legendary actress Diane Keaton, I built a Python Notebook on Kaggle featuring a curated selection of 25 of her most iconic films. From Annie Hall to Something’s Gotta Give, the dataset highlights her impact across decades of cinema. This project is both a technical showcase and a cultural tribute, proof that data analysis can capture not only trends, but also the legacy of an artist.
