Welcome to my page.

I am currently a Lecturer in Economics at Newcastle University in the UK. Previously, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher in economics at Leuphana University Lüneburg (2009-2010). Before that, I studied Business Administration (German Diplom in 2006) and Economic and Social Sciences (Diplom in 2007) at the University of Lüneburg. I defended my doctoral thesis "Essays in Empirical Labor Economics" in March 2009.

My research focuses on applied microeconometrics, usually focussing on questions from labor economics, international economics, urban economics and health economics. See "Research" for details. On the left, you can find some links to my CV and my papers as well to other stuff I find interesting.

Enjoy your stay.
