I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Economics, ELTE Centre for Economic and Regional Studies (ELTE KRTK KTI) and an Associate Professor at Corvinus University of Budapest. My research lies at the intersection of empirical health and labour economics, with a focus on causal inference using rich administrative data. I have also been involved in policy analysis in applied economic settings, drawing on statistical and econometric methods.

I teach courses in econometrics, health economics and machine learning, and have supervised three PhD students.

Before academia, I worked at the Ministry of Finance, where I was an analyst and later Head of the Economic Research Division, and subsequently headed the tax forecasting team at the Office of the Fiscal Council of Hungary. 

I obtained my Ph.D. in Statistics from ELTE and hold master's degrees in Mathematics (ELTE) and Economics (Corvinus).
