About me

I previously held the Robert F. Corroon Chair in Risk Economics with the Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science at St. John's University. I also held business school faculty appointments at two other universities: Hamburg School of Business Administration and the University of Hamburg (Hamburg Business School) in Germany. 

At UC, I teach courses in risk economics, risk management, insurance, and finance. My research involves the application of microeconomics and data science techniques to the analysis of risk and markets dealing with risk, decision-making and risk literacy, insurance markets, health care markets, and innovations in managing risks. 

With over 20 years of research and teaching experience in the field of risk and insurance economics, I have an extensive academic background with more than 35 publications in this field as well as over 10 years of experience as an active faculty member at 3 different Business Schools after completion of my Ph.D. in Germany. This includes working as an Assistant Professor and Stand-in Chair for 4 years at the University of Hamburg (German research excellence university) and 7 years in the U.S., plus 2 years as a Full Professor at another business school helped me to develop my skills as a researcher and passionate teacher.
