Thank you for visiting my website!
I am a postdoctoral researcher at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and a research affiliate at IZA@LISER and CESifo.
My research is in labor economics, with a particular focus on technology and the future of work, job amenities and working conditions, inequality, and labor market institutions.
My work combines administrative and survey data with modern econometric methods, experiments, and machine learning.
