Teaching Philosophy

I teach economics as a tool for understanding real-world phenomena. My courses combine formal models, empirical evidence, and hands-on application, so that students learn not only what economics has found but how economic knowledge is produced. Across theory, experimental and behavioral economics, and applied microeconomics, I use active, research-based formats: students formulate hypotheses, work with models, program experiments, analyze data, and present results.

I put this into practice through an inverted classroom with self-produced programming videos, brief classroom experiments, and continuous low-stakes assessment that keeps engagement steady across the semester. I teach in German and English, at the bachelor's and master's level, to diverse and interdisciplinary student groups.

Teaching Award

I received the WiSo Junior Teaching Award (University of Cologne, 2022) for outstanding teaching in the summer semester of 2022, based on student evaluations.
