At the FU Berlin, she researches Radical Vulnerability as an emancipatory writing strategy in social media. As a critic, she writes for the Süddeutsche Zeitung and Deutschlandfunk Kultur, among others. Her translations of contemporary Chinese poetry into German have been awarded a scholarship by the German Translator Fund and the Poetry East West Translation Award.
