Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford and a Non-Stipendiary Research Fellow at Nuffield College.

I received my PhD in Economics from Freie Universität Berlin and DIW Berlin.  My research examines political economy, with a particular focus on populism, inequality, and social mobility.


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 Berlin, the OECD, and the United Nations.
