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, particularly in questions concerning the impact of institutions on scientific progress and technical change, the returns to scientific human capital, and the allocation of resources in research and innovation.
I am also currently holder of an Add-on Fellowship for Economics from the Joachim Herz Foundation.
