ABOUT ME

I am a behavioral and experimental economist and finished my doctoral studies in Economics in 2017 at the University of Innsbruck. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Economics and a Bachelor's degree in Management and Economics from the same university.

​

After working as a Post-Doc (Assistant-Professor) at the University of Innsbruck for almost four years, I started in autumn 2020 to work on a similar position at the University of Regensburg (Chair of Professor Lea Cassar).
