I received my PhD from Bielefeld University in 2025, graduating summa cum laude.  

My research interests are (i) labour economics, (ii) applied econometrics, and (iii) inequality.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher as a part of the Coping with Uncertainty in Dynamic Environments (CUDE) project, where I conduct empirical research in collaboration with theoretical economists on various aspects of uncertainty in labour markets.
