I am a fifth-year PhD candidate currently visiting the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and the Center for International Development (CID). I am enrolled at the University of Zurich, part of the structured doctoral program at the Zurich Graduate School of Economics. My main research interests are behavioral and experimental economics and development economics with a special interest in microcredit borrowing behavior and social preferences. 

Previously, I was a Junior Research Fellow at the Centre for Economic and Regional Studies at the Institute of Economics (KRTK KTI) in Hungary. I have received my graduate degree (cum laude) in Economics from the University of Amsterdam with a Behavioral Economics specialization and my undergraduate degree (cum laude) in Applied Economics at Eötvös Loránd University.
