I am currently employed as a Scientific Assistant at the Department of Economics and Business Economics at Aarhus University, while I am defending my PhD dissertation.
From January 1st, 2026, I will continue my employment at the department as a Postdoc funded by two consecutive research grants: First, "Income inequality between women and men: causes and practical advice" (funded by the Spar Nord Foundation), and then, “Disentangling the Interplay of Marriage, Divorce, Fertility, and Work: Evidence from Natural Experiments” (funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark).
In August 2025, I participated in the 8th Lindau Nobel Meeting in Economic Sciences. During the fall of 2023, I visited the Yale Department of Economics as a Visiting Assistant in Research.

What does love have to do with inequality? Let me try to explain in just 3 minutes ⏱️
In March 2025, I had the pleasure of participating in the interdisciplinary 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition at Aarhus University. You can watch my pitch in the video just below.
The challenge was as follows: In just 3 minutes, pitch your research to a broad audience in a non-technical language with only one slide. And what a great challenge, because how do you boil down the complexity of your research and deliver it persuasively in just 3 minutes? Fortunately, we received excellent coaching in preparation for the event, and I learned quite a few tricks that I can make great use of in the future.
Thank you to the 3MT team at Aarhus University and all my fellow contestants for making this a fun and enjoyable experience full of learning!
