Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

Hanna is currently doing a 6 month research stay at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) at the University of Cambridge. In her research, she is working at the IIPM lab  on the topic of intellectual property (IP) in a Crowdfunding context. In their work, they are investigating how the signal of IP protection affects the success of the emerging funding form of Reward-based Crowdfunding using a novel text-based measure. Hanna is a PhD student at the Chair of Innovation Management at Leibniz University Hannover supervised by Prof. Dr. Nils Foege.


Hanna received her Master's degree in Entrepreneurship from Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg and her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Humboldt University in Berlin. 

Hanna has joint the rowing team of Trinity Hall College. She has rowed successfully at the May Bumps and appreciates the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with like-minded people from different disciplines, both in an athletic context and at the weekly Formal Halls during Easter Term.
