He works in the joint project LegiNot (Legitimation of the Emergency - Change of Legitimation in the Emergency), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

As part of his studies, he spent a semester abroad at the University of Ghent in Belgium. Based on an internship at the human rights organization KISA - Action for Equality, Support, Anti-Racism in Nicosia, Cyprus, Kohler wrote his master's thesis on "Labor Exploitation of Migrants in the Republic of Cyprus". In addition to his studies, he held various teaching positions in the B.A. Public Management at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences.
