Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Hamburg since 2024. After finishing my PhD at the University of Bonn in 2021, I was a postdoc at IZA, where I still am a research fellow. In May 2023, I visited the University of Oxford.

I am interested in labor supply and financial decision of households, with a particular focus on the behavioral foundations underlying these choices and how they are influenced by the institutional environment. Methodologically, I use advanced econometric and computational methods and utilize both self-collected survey data and large-scale administrative data sets.

Please reach out to me if you would like to talk about my or your research!

On the following pages, you find my ongoing research projects, my publications, and my CV.
