I’m a third-year PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Zurich (UZH), supported by a PhD scholarship from the University Research Priority Program (URPP) Equality of Opportunity.

My research interests span a wide range of topics in public and labor economics across low-, middle, and high-income countries. I am currently working on projects that focus on social insurances, tax incidence, or labor regulations. I’m always happy to talk about research - feel free to get in touch!

Before joining UZH, I was a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow to Prof. Camille Landais at the London School of Economics (LSE), where I contributed to the following two papers: “Wealth and Property Taxation in the United States” (Dray, Landais, Stantcheva, NBER WP 31080) and “Taxing Top Wealth: Migration Responses and their Aggregate Economic Implications” (Jakobsen, Kleven, Kolsrud, Landais, Muñoz, NBER WP 32153).

I hold both a BSc and an MSc in Economics from the University of Mannheim, where I also worked as a research assistant to Ass. Prof. Arthur Seibold, contributing to the paper “Unwilling to Train? - Firm Responses to the Colombian Apprenticeship Regulation” (Caicedo, Espinosa, Seibold, Econometrica (2022)).
