I am an Assistant Professor at the Central European University and work on topics in Labor Economics, Public Economics, Inequality and Innovation. My research combines convincing research designs with large-scale administrative and novel historical data to gain insights into policy-relevant questions.

I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Cambridge, and before joining CEU, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Research & Analysis of Migration at University College London. Before my PhD, I worked at the Chief Economist's Office of the World Bank and for the Finance Ministry of Mozambique.

I am a Research Associate at the Centre for Research & Analysis of Migration, an Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics, and a co-organiser of the Vienna Applied Micro Economics Network
