Welcome!

I am an economist at DIW Berlin and received my PhD from Freie Universität Berlin. My research centers on political economy, with a particular focus on populism, inequality, and social mobility.


In September, I will join the University of Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher.


During my PhD, I was a Visiting Fellow at the World Inequality Lab at the Paris School of Economics (2025), Harvard’s Opportunity Insights Lab (2024), and the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London (2023). I have also contributed to policy work at DIW, the OECD, and the United Nations.

Feel free to get in touch
