I am a Sustainable Cooperation (SCOOP) Research Fellow and a member of the Economic and Social History Group at Utrecht University. Before joining Utrecht, I was a Max Weber Fellow (Departments of Economics and Political & Social Sciences) at the European University Institute in Florence. I hold a PhD in Economic History from the London School of Economics, as well as degrees from Witten/Herdecke University (BA), Bocconi University (MSc), and the University of Cambridge (MPhil).
My recent publications include "The Unequal Spirit of the Protestant Reformation: Particularism and Wealth Distribution in Early Modern Germany", (Journal of Economic Growth, vol. 30, 3, 2025), and "Poverty in Germany from the Black Death until the Beginning of Industrialization" (with Guido Alfani and Victoria Gierok, Explorations Economic History, vol. 95, 1, 2025).
