I am a doctoral candidate and research associate at the Department of Corporate Development at the Faculty of Management, Economics, and Social Sciences of the University of Cologne.

My research lies at the nexus of management research and labor economics. In particular, I examine the causal effects of human resource management (HRM) practices on employee behavior. To this end, I conduct field experiments in collaboration with firms and analyze firm data using data science methods. A key area of interest in my research is absenteeism.

My overarching objective is to contribute to a paradigm shift toward evidence-based management, advocating for HRM practices that promote both employee well-being and organizational success.
