Hello!
I am an incoming PhD Student in Economics and Presidential Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I hold a BSc and MSc in Economics from Humboldt University Berlin and was a research fellow and visiting student at Harvard University during the academic year 2021/2022.

My primary interests are in labor economics, with a focus on worker representation, wage inequality, and technical change. In my current research, I study what factors drive the formation of labor unions, highlighting the role of workers’ outside options in the labor market and the electoral representation of low-wage workers. In a closely related strand of work, I explore how unions, and other forms of worker representation, impact firms’ technology choices.
