I work as an associate professor at the Finance Department of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and as a senior research fellow at the Institute of Economics, Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Hungary.
I completed my PhD in Economics at Ecole Polytechnique and CREST in 2016, after which I joined the CORE research center of Université catholique de Louvain for two years as a postdoctoral researcher.
My research interests are Microeconomic Theory, Industrial Organization of the Digital Economy, and Agent-based Computational Economics.
