Currently, I work on issues of energy and environmental economics in the context of German (and, broader, European) policies.
In the U.S., I was applying my academic expertise in various public proceedings, mostly concerning regulation of two wholesale electricity markets: PJM and New York-ISO. Harnessing my academic knowledge, I have served as an expert during New Jersey's technical conference on resource adequacy. I have also been involved in legal procedures around fuel economy standards and submitted an expert testimony in Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit concerning the economics of penalties for non-compliance.
Examples of my non-academic publications:

I also had the pleasure to support and contribute to the work of the German Council of Economic Experts :
2021/22 Annual Report (chapters on international climate cooperation and productivity)
2022/23 Annual Report (in particular the chapter on the energy crisis and the German manufacturing sector).
2023/24 Annual Report (in particular the chapters on capital formation and data infrastructure)
2024/25 Annual Report (in particular the chapters on future-oriented public spending and decarbonization of freight transport)
2025/26 Annual Report (in particular the chapter on the fiscal package).
I used to be a part of the group preparing the forecast of the tax revenues for the German government (Arbeitskreis „Steuerschätzungen“).
A summary of my U.S.-oriented policy work, in particular of the regulatory submissions, can be found here.
