She joined the University of Luxembourg in 2024 as a part-time student and currently prepares her doctoral thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sonja Kmec. The current research project aims to combine an actor-centred view on the Battle of the Bulge with a more doctrinal approach.
Her fields of research cover several key topics of the Second World War, such as military tactics, real life support for field operations, the battle of the Bulge in Luxembourg, Western front and combined arms operations in 1944, dealing with the total caracter of contemporary warfare, individual actor-centred view on large-scale conflicts and both individual and collective memory.
