I consider myself an applied economist, with a focus on international and institutional economics.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Wilfried Guth Endowed Chair for Constitutional Political Economy and Competition Policy at the University of Freiburg. Previously, I was interim-professor for econometrics and statistics at the University of Freiburg (October 2019-March 2020).
I have obtained my PhD (Dr. rer. pol) from the University of Freiburg in June 2018.
