I am an economist co-leading the Policy Evaluation Lab at PIK.
My interest is in exploring new ways to combine causal inference methods and high-resolution data to address challenges in policy design, primarily within environmental and health economics.
Previously, I spent a research stay at Harvard University during my Postdoctoral position at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC). I studied at Humboldt University and received my Ph.D. from the Technical University of Berlin.
