Hello!
I am a PhD Candidate in Political Economy and Government at Harvard, and a research affiliate at Opportunity Insights and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science.
In my research, I primarily explore how social capital shapes economic outcomes, for instance by influencing where people live and how much they earn. In a second strand of work, I investigate the causes and consequences of political preferences and polarization.
Before graduate school, I worked at Opportunity Insights and earned a MSc in Economics from the University of Mannheim, and a BSc in Economics from Humboldt University of Berlin.
I am currently on the 2024-2025 economics job market.
Here is my CV.
