I am a PostDoc at the Chair of International Economics of University of Bamberg, where I recently completed my PhD titled "Essays on Aggregation With Heterogeneous and Interacting Agents" under the supervision of Professor Mishael Milaković, PhD. Prior to that, I was a member of the Bamberg Doctoral Research Group on Behavioral Macroeconomics (2018 - 2020) and got my Master's degree in European Economic Studies (EES) also at the University of Bamberg.
The pre-analytic vision of my work understands economies as complex adaptive systems. Methodologically, I am interested in all things distribution and networks. Contentwise, my work focuses on issues of economic inequality, granular economies and distributional regularities.
Together with Daniel Mayerhoffer, I was awarded the Herbert Simon Prize by the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy and together with Anna Gebhard and Daniel Mayerhoffer, I received the Egon Matzner Prize by the Department for Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy of TU Vienna. Also together with Daniel Mayerhoffer and Daria Tisch, we received an recognition award by the Chamber of Labour Vienna with an essay on inequality misperceptions.
Last year, I was co-organizing a satellite workshop to NetSci 2023 in Vienna titled "From Micro to Macro Via Network Interaction". I also co-edited a special issue of the Review of Evolutionary Political Economy titled "Pluralist Economics in an Era of Polycrisis: Young Scholars’ Voices". Next year (March 2025), I am co-organizing the Spring School on Perceptions of Wealth Inequality (SPINE) in Bamberg.
I am a member of the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE), the Post-Keynesian Economics Society (PKES), the German Network for Pluralism in Economics (Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik) and co-founded the Bamberg Group for Pluralism in Economics (Plurale Ökonomik Bamberg) in 2015.
