Research Interests
Primary: Behavioral Economics • Experimental Economics • Transportation Economics
Secondary: Environmental Economics • Development Economics
I am a behavioral economist with a strong empirical focus. I am currently working as a consultant at BSL Transportation Consultants. I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Hamburg in 2024, graduating summa cum laude. My research lies at the intersection of behavioral economics, experimental economics, and transportation economics. My work contributes to a better understanding of decision-making under uncertainty, the behavioral impacts of disruptive (digital) mobility innovations, the design of effective behavioral interventions and social contexts.
My dissertation, "Empirical Behavioral Economic Essays on Ambiguity Attitudes, Incentive Effects, and Prosociality," investigated the influence of emotional states on prosocial behavior, the effect of gamified incentives on sustainable mobility choices over time, the impact of information framing on ambiguity attitudes, and the differences between groups and individuals in their ambiguity attitudes. As a guest researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, I participated in interdisciplinary research projects related to sustainable transport systems and field experiments in rural contexts.
My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals in behavioral economics and transportation studies. Methodologically, I use laboratory, survey, and field experiments, as well as quasi-experimental and cross-sectional research designs.
