About Me

I am Professor of Quantitative Methods in Economics and Finance at Saarland University. I finished my PhD at Leibniz University Hannover in 2015 (title: "Market Beta and Factor Risk Premia in Financial Markets"). My main research interest is to understand prices and risk premia in financial markets. Research topics include, among others, beta estimation, risk premia in financial markets, and international finance. In their December 2022 issue, the magazine Wirtschaftswoche ranks me on 28th place among the best business economist researchers under the age of 40 and 51th place among the best business economist researchers of all ages in the years 2018-2022 in German-speaking countries.
