Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen University and the Director of AIXperiment, the School’s experimental laboratory. I am also a fellow of the “Junges Kolleg”, a small group of the best junior researchers across all disciplines in North Rhine-Westphalia. Further, I am a part-time Lecturer at the Economics Department at the University of Essex and an Affiliate of the CESifo Network. In 2018, I completed my PhD at the University of Munich (LMU).

You can find my full CV here.

I am an applied economist. My research interests lie at the intersection of development and behavioral economics, with most of my current projects focusing on topics related to (digital) financial services, morals, and norms. In my research, I use a variety of data sources, ranging from self-collected survey and experimental data to large representative panel and administrative data sets.
