About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and a researcher at ZEW in the Digital Economics Department. My research focuses on economic theory and applied microeconomics, with a particular emphasis on persuasion, political polarization, and the impact of artificial intelligence on decision-making.

In my work, I combine theoretical models with experimental and empirical methods to better understand how information and persuasion shape beliefs and behavior. My recent research explores AI-driven persuasion, political belief formation, and the role of digital platforms in shaping economic and political outcomes.

I have collaborated with leading scholars, including co-authoring a ZEW Discussion Paper with John Horton (MIT Sloan), and my research has been published in ZEW Policy Briefs. I have presented at major conferences such as the Annual Meeting of Verein für Socialpolitik, ASFEE, and the Young Economist Meeting.

Beyond academia, I am actively engaged in discussions on AI and human rights, serving as a member of Amnesty International Germany's Special Volunteer Group on Human Rights in the Digital Age. I have co-authored internal guidelines on Generative AI for Amnesty Germany and presented at events such as the Chaos Computer Congress (33C3).
