Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Ludwig Erhard ifo Center for Social Market Economy and Institutional Economics, and a guest researcher at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). My work examines how social insurance reforms shape labor markets and public finances, primarily relying on rich administrative data from Germany. 

Some of my current projects focus on the labor market effects of wage floors in low-wage sectors and the general equilibrium effects of large-scale social insurance reforms. Moreover, I am investigating the reallocative impacts of worker retention policies during economic crises.

I received a Ph.D. in Public Policy from Harvard University in 2025 and a B.Sc. in International Economics and Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Tübingen in 2016.
