I am an Assistant Professor (promotion-track to Associate Professor) at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow at Sidney Sussex College Cambridge. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich and earned my Ph.D. in Economics from LMU Munich. I have also held visiting positions at Harvard University and Princeton University, and hold Masters degrees from the London School of Economics and University College London.

I am an applied microeconomist interested in labor and education economics, the economics of religion, and AI & economics. One strand of my research investigates how school curricula influence student achievement, attitudes, beliefs, choices, and long-term labor market outcomes. Another line of my work employs tools from AI, natural language processing (NLP), and computational linguistics to examine the effects of economic policies and educational interventions on students, employees, unions, and firms.

My Ph.D. thesis was awarded the Prize for Best Dissertation in 2021/2022 by the German Economic Association's Section on Economics of Education, and I received the Fürther Ludwig Erhard Prize in 2023.
