Lena Bernhofer
I studied in Germany at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and at the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) and hold a Diploma Degree in Business Administration and an Honours Degree in Technology Management. During my studies I gained first research experience as a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley and spent a semester abroad at UIBE Beijing. Besides my academic career, I gained relevant practical experience in start-ups and companies, such as KPMG and BMW. For my current Ph.D. studies, I received several scholarships, including full scholarships from the China Scholarship Council, DAAD and Siemens.
My research interests include entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial intentions and the development of entrepreneurship (education) specifically in China. I am also interested in entrepreneurial ecosystems and will focus more on that topic in the near future.
During my time as a PhD candidate I took part in the international research project GUESSS and organized the data collection and analyses in China. In case you are interested in my research or need help with your own studies in China feel free to contact me. I am happy to help, share thoughts and work on common topics.
