About

I have been a doctoral candidate at the DIW Graduate Center, affiliated with the Technical University of Berlin, since 2025. Prior to that, I earned a master’s degree from Duke University and a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Hamburg. In my research, I examine how access to energy and transportation infrastructure influences economic development and prosperity, combining microeconomic methods with spatial and infrastructure modeling. In addition to my academic work, I was active in competitive sports, including playing ice hockey in the junior Bundesliga.
