Welcome!
I'm an Assistant Professor of Economic History at the Economics Department of the University of Bonn. There, I'm part of the Institute for Applied Microeconomics. I received my Ph.D. in Economics at Boston University, in 2022. My research interests are Labor Economics, Economic History, and Gender Economics.
I am an IZA Research Affiliate, a member of the ECONtribute Research Cluster and the Collaborative Research Center Transregio 224.
Listen here to the ECONtribute Wirtschaftspodcast episode about my research concerning the 1906 San Francisco Fire (in German).
Please check out my interdisciplinary project SOZIAHR about the medium- and long-run consequences of the Ahr Valley Flood of 2021.
