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 part-time Lecturer at the Economics Department at the University of Essex, an Affiliate of the CESifo Network, and a junior fellow of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities, and the Arts. In 2018, I completed my PhD at the University of Munich (LMU).

You can find my full CV here.

I am an applied microeconomist. My research interests lie at the intersection of behavioral and development economics, with most of my current projects focusing on topics related to morals, norms, and (digital) financial services. 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.
