In 2020, she published “Furor. Vorstellungen künstlerischer Eingebung in der Kunst der Frühen Neuzeit (Hirmer)”, for which she received the Hans-Janssen Prize of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen. After a Junior Fellowship at the Kolleg-Forschergruppe BildEvidenz in Berlin, she worked as a Lecturer in Early Modern Art History first at the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum and then at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf.
