Welcome!
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Cologne and the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Economics.
I am affiliated with ECONtribute (Area: Market Design and Behavior) and the Center for Social and Economic Behavior (C-SEB).
I will be on the job market in 2026–2027.
Profile
I study how institutions shape individual behavior, and how behavioral insights can inform the design of better institutions. I use experiments to test behaviorally motivated theories, drawing on classical laboratory experiments, lab-in-the-field experiments with professionals, and large-scale field experiments. I also apply causal inference methods to large-scale administrative data. I focus on three domains, each transformed by digitalization: information markets, health care markets, and mechanism design.
Education
I hold an MSc in Statistics from the London School of Economics, where I received the Royal Statistical Society Prize for Best Graduate, and an MSc and BSc in Economics from the University of Cologne, all with Distinction.
