I am currently pursuing my PhD at Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich (LMU).
My research focuses on organizational economics with an emphasis on crisis management, firm governance, and the impacts of robotization.
I will be joining HEC Lausanne, the business school of the University of Lausanne, as a postdoctoral researcher in the Strategy, Globalization, and Society (SGS) group starting next fall semester!
