Welcome! I am Postdoc at the ifo Center for the Economics of Education and the University of Munich (LMU).

I use economic theory and empircal methods to do research on topics in behavioral economics, human capital theory, development economics, and political economy. I received my PhD from the University of Konstanz in 2017.
