I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer (Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben) at the University of Kassel, Germany, in the Department of Environmental and Behavioral Economics.
My research analyzes cooperation in collective action problems, particularly in environmental contexts, drawing on insights from behavioral economics. It focuses on how institutions, incentives, and behavioral factors shape cooperative outcomes, with applications to international climate negotiations and climate policy design.
Methodologically, I rely primarily on experimental approaches (lab, online, and field), as well as survey data analysis.
