Short Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, Research Fellow at TRR266, ZEW, Skatteforsk, and the International Tax Observatory. In my research, I study corporate and individual taxation.

At Bucerius Law School, I am the academic director for the business section of the Master of Law and Business (a post-experience program) offered in cooperation with WHU. Moreover, at the University of Mannheim, I am the academic Co-Director for Taxation at the Mannheim Center for Corporate Behavior and Regulation Analysis, COBRA, and a Board Member of the Leibniz Campus Mannheim Taxation. 

I received my PhD from the University of Mannheim in 2021. Before that, I studied Business Administration with a focus on taxation at Mannheim and Philosophy & Economics at the University of Bayreuth. 

Research

My interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Business and Economics examines how taxes shape the decisions of firms and individuals in a globalized economy. Cross-border mobility of capital and people constrains countries' ability to tax and creates opportunities for tax evasion and avoidance — prompting governments to respond with far-reaching countermeasures. Whether these measures achieve their goals is the central question of my work: I evaluate the intended and unintended consequences of anti-tax avoidance and evasion measures.

My work has been published in the Journal of Public Economics and the Journal of Accounting Research, amongst others.
