Lisa Wunsch
I am a research fellow and PhD candidate in Prof. Mark Lutter's team. My research examines broader patterns of social inequality, with a particular focus on (academic) labor markets and partnership dynamics. To study these questions, I primarily work with quantitative approaches, including longitudinal data, experimental designs, and computational social science.
