I’m an economist (PhD, GSEFM Frankfurt) and a postdoctoral researcher at the new Rockwool Foundation Berlin as well as a guest researcher at Humbolt University Berlin.

My research focuses on empirical questions of health, education, and network economics. My recent work on the impact of lockdowns and school closures and the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has been published in the journals PLOS ONE and PNAS.
