I was also a senior researcher at the International Center for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), Vienna (2009-2012), a researcher at the Jonas Widgen Foundation (Netherlands) and at Amsterdam Economics, and an embedded researcher at the Turkish Directorate General for Migration Management (DGMM) (2013/14). I am also Head of the Turkey Migration Studies Network (TurkMiS), Senior Advisor to the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants ( PICUM) in Brussels, member of the Steering Committees of South East European Studies ( SEESOX) at St Antony's College, Oxford, of Metropolis, the Border Monitoring Project Ukraine, the Advisory Board of the Migration Research Center of Koc University, Istanbul and the editorial boards of Migration Studies (UK), Journal for Studies in Social Justice (Canada) and the Journal for Social Politics and Sociology (Russia).

Before my academic career, I worked as a social worker for migrants and refugees and was editor of a German journal for development policy. So far, I have conducted over 20 research projects, such as FFVT, CrossMigration, DIEM, MedMig, Eumagine and Clandestino. I have also presented at over a hundred conferences and given 16 keynotes, for example at Metropolis, IMISCOE and EMN. Finally, I have published 10 books, around 50 papers and over 35 book chapters.
