Nina Osenbrügge is a doctoral candidate in sociology at the Center for Doctoral Studies in Social and Behavioral Sciences (CDSS). She holds a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in sociology from the University of Mannheim and spent one semester abroad at the University of Haifa (Israel). In her master thesis, Nina explores the effect of social desirability bias on the measurement of extremist attitudes using data of list experiments in a study of three European countries.

During her studies, Nina worked as a research assistant in diverse fields: social medicine and public health, survey methodology, and recently in political sociology. She applies methods from the field of computational social science, social network analysis, and survey experiments to her main research interests of migration and integration. Most of her work evolves around political extremism, xenophobia, and attitudes towards refugees.
