Biography
I joined the School of Economics in October 2020. I previously studied for my PhD in Economics at the University of Edinburgh and have worked as a research associate at the European University Institute (Florence, Italy). I received an MSc degree in Economics from the University of Edinburgh and BSc degrees in Economics and Business Administration from Philipps-University Marburg (Germany).
Research interests
My research is in applied microeconometrics and behavioural economics, with a particular interest in health economics. I currently work on the ERC-funded project "Developmental Origins: exploring the Nature-Nurture Interplay" led by Professor Stephanie von Hinke.
