 My main research interest is in societal decision-making under uncertainty and learning. Key topics are the description of scientific uncertainty, the value of information and forecasts, the design of risk regulation, and the precautionary principle. A second line of my research focuses on strategic aspects of environmental technologies with geoengineering (aka climate engineering) as an important area of application. Here my work has been on heterogeneous preferences and their implications for deployment and R&D equilibria. I am funded through a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from the German Research Foundation (DFG). Before joining the LSE, I completed my PhD in economics at Heidelberg University. My background is in Mathematics and Physics.
