About
I am Felix, a health scientist with a PhD and a methodological focus on systematic reviews, as well as experience in routine data analysis and qualitative research in the field of patient safety and medical care research. Previously, I worked as a business economist in both the private sector and in quality management at Dresden University Hospital. During my scientific work, I have worked with various study designs, survey methods, structural and process analyses, and evaluative evidence synthesis, both in a supporting and leading role. With my experience in quality and risk management as well as scientific research, I am happy to support you in bringing your theses to a successful conclusion in a methodologically sound, efficient, and goal-oriented manner.
