I am a Research Associate at the University of Hamburg. I obtained my PhD at the Department of Economics, University of Göttingen. Prior to joining the University of Hamburg, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) and a research fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA). 

My research interests are at the intersection of environmental and development economics. I study how environmental, energy, and climate policies affect poverty, inequality and economic development.
