I joined the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) in September 2018 as a Junior Researcher and PhD-Candidate. In January 2024 I obtained my PhD in Economics from the Johannes Kepler University in Linz. Currently I am employed as a post-doctoral researcher at the IHS, where my research broadly focuses on Labor Economics and Applied Microeconometrics.
