Welcome!

I am a research associate and PhD candidate in Economics at DIW Berlin and Free University Berlin. My research centers on political economy, with a particular focus on populism, inequality, and social mobility.


I was on the 2025/2026 job market.


During my PhD, I have been 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 reach out, for example if you are insterested in working with SOEP data.
