Welcome!

I am a Research Assistant and PhD Student at the Chair of Public Economics at Leipzig University.

My research interests are economic history, political economics and public economics.
I investigate the regional relations between industrial change, income inequality and housing costs in the research project "The Triangle of German Democratic Capitalism - Growth, Housing and Voting (REG-TDC)". 

In fall 2026, I will visit the World Inequality Lab at the Paris School of Economics, hosted by Thomas Piketty. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to meet!
