I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.
I am also a Research affiliate at IZA and CESifo, a Research associate at LASER, and a holder of an Add-On Fellowship by the Joachim Herz Foundation.
My main research interests are in labor economics and applied microeconomics.
In my current research, I focus on the labor market effects of new technologies (especially artificial intelligence and robotics) and on questions related to non-wage job amenities and working conditions. In general, I am interested in the factors shaping wage inequality.
In my research, I apply econometric methods, machine learning, and experimental methods.
