I am a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna (IHS) and am currently on the academic job market. 

My research uses randomized controlled trials and lab-in-the-field experiments to study how individual preferences and institutional design shape opportunities in labor-market, financial, and educational contexts. By focusing on populations underrepresented in existing research, I aim to provide empirically and theoretically grounded evidence for designing institutions and policies that are both fairer and more effective.

Most recently, I held a three-year research fellowship from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), which enabled me to focus fully on research, including during maternity leave. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher and research group leader at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) in Vienna, leading mixed-methods and experimental research for policy advising.

Gender inequality is a topic I care deeply about. In a recent study (European Economic Review, 2026), we show in a large-scale RCT that girls' early STEM interest is malleable and a digital intervention can close about 20% of the gender gap.
