Welcome!
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Cologne and a kickboxer in the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB).
In my research, I am interested in understanding credence goods markets, particularly health care markets, financial markets, and market design more broadly. I employ both modern and classical statistical methods , particularly machine learning, and experimental methods. I am deeply tied to my native city of Cologne and the University of Cologne where I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees in Economics. I also hold a master's degree in Statistics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
I have been passionately competing in kickboxing for almost a decade. I am currently ranked number one in the world in my weight class and have won five World Cups. It is my distinct privilege to be athlete spokesman for the German kickboxers and in the member of the executive committee of Athleten Deutschland.
