I am a applied microeconomist and a final-year PhD candidate at Kiel University (Germany). Most of my research is situated at the intersection of labor and behavioral economics. I have had the pleasure of completing research stays at King's College London, City St. George's (University of London), and Paris Panthéon-Assas (see the croissant map). 

My job market paper studies how men and women respond to failure in competitive settings using detailed game-level data from online chess tournaments. Exploiting within-player variation in loss timing and performance across tournaments, I find that women’s performance remains steadier after losses while men's worsens and that both genders reenter competition at similar rates, suggesting comparable long-run willingness to compete. 

More broadly, my dissertation centers around the impact of institutions and external shocks on cognitive performance. Further interests include gender differences in labor market participation and labor market outcomes. To assess the impact of factors such as gender or resource availability, I rely on natural experiments or make use of the data richness that panel datasets provide. I specialize in working with very large and unusual datasets, webscraping and wrangling data to answer questions that surveys cannot. 

I am on the 2025/26 academic job market.
