About me

Welcome to my home page. I am currently an advanced researcher at the Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in Mannheim, Germany. Previously, I was a post-doc in the Economics & Policy Department at the Technical University of Munich. I received my Ph.D. from KU Leuven in 2021.

My research interests are in the economics of science and innovation. My current work focuses on the role of human capital and competition in scientific production, the funding of R&D, and how institutions affect knowledge spillovers.

I am also currently holder of an Add-on Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Economics from the Joachim Herz Foundation.
