I am heading the economics and financial markets research team at the German Insurance Association.

Previously, I held posts at the Department for Forecasting and Economic Policy at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin, the French Conseil d’Analyse Economique in Paris, and the Hertie School where in 2021 I completed a PhD in economics. I (co-)authored many policy reports, notably for the European Parliament and at the DIW, and participated in the so-called “Joint Economic Forecast” of the leading German economic research institutes. I also taught courses in macroeconomics, international trade, and economic policy at universities in France, Germany, and the US.

My academic research focuses on the intersection of the real and financial sector, in particular financial regulation and business cycle synchronization in the Eurozone.
