As a student assistant, Jella Ohnesorge supports the DSA research network, which aims to monitor and improve the implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA). 

She is studying for a Master’s degree in Political Science at Freie Universität Berlin, where she also completed her Bachelor’s degree with a thesis on the continuities of National Socialist labour law in the FRG.
