I am a nomadic/international researcher, artist, event organizer, and designer with an extensive background in philosophy of science and Science and Technology Studies, or STS, encompassing both academic research and teaching.

My fine art focuses on the human body, queer identity, and life in megacities. My media art deals with cultural heritage, media literacy, and science communication. My artwork has been exhibited in Estonia, Hungary, Austria, Hong Kong, and Denmark.

As a researcher, I investigate various interactions between artistic work and scholarly research, particularly the potential of transdisciplinary practices at the intersection of art, science, and technology to boost science communication, foster science literacy and technoscientific innovation, as well as factors and settings facilitating or hindering these contributions. I am also interested in strategic marketing and the construction of imaginaries during the articulation work in emergent sciences, as well as the theory and practice of live marketing.

As an event organizer and curator, I prioritize diversity, inclusion, and the quality of work over artists' treatises. I enjoy designing event concepts and programs on complex, challenging topics and seek to achieve a variety of perspectives, participant profiles, genres, and interpretations of the event themes.

Outside of art and academia, I am a master of project coordination (incl. event management), communications, and live marketing (both B2B and B2C).
