At DIW Berlin, I Iead a project on populism and social mobility. Currently, I am a Visiting Fellow at the World Inequality Lab at the Paris School of Economics, invited by Lucas Chancel and Thomas Piketty. In 2024,  I was a Visiting Fellow at Harvard’s Opportunity Insights Lab, invited by Raj Chetty.
