I am a PostDoc funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation at the University of Lucerne (Prof. Dr. Lüchinger). 

My research lies at the intersection of political economy, migration, and development economics, focusing on how migration, labor unions, and digital information reallocate political power and shape economic development.  I build large-scale datasets and combine causal inference designs with web-scraped, text, and geospatial data, including LLM-assisted tools. 

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Hebrew University and a Research Associate at the University of Heidelberg. I earned my PhD at the University of Göttingen under Prof. Dr. Axel Dreher  and was funded by the German Science Foundation through the Research Training Group Globalization and Development and the project 'Coming to America: Immigration, Political Campaigning, and Polarization'.  In 2023, I visited Georgetown University and UC Davis for a research stay.
