Welcome! 

I am a professor (W2, tenure track) in Economics at the Dresden University of Technology (TUD), where I hold the Chair of Quantitative Methods, esp. Econometrics. Before that, I was head of the junior research group “Outcomes of Education Across the Lifespan“ at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) in Bamberg. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), which was supervised by Regina T. Riphahn.

I am a research affiliate at CESifo, IZA, LASER, and LIfBi. I am a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Research Data Centre (FDZ) of the Statistical Offices of the Federal and State Governments and an ordinary Council Member of the European Society for Population Economics (ESPE).

My research interests are in applied microeconomics, especially education and labor economics, family and population economics, and public health. I am particularly interested in policy evaluation, trying to find answers to the question of how different public policies affect individuals and firms.
