Hello there!

I am an applied economist with research interests at the nexus of urban economics, environmental economics, labor economics, and gender inequality. I combine these fields to study how transport systems, spatial constraints, and public policies shape environmental outcomes and labor market behavior. In my work, I am particularly interested in empirical analyses that evaluate real-world policies and help inform policy decisions.

Methodologically, my expertise includes causal inference designs, panel data methods (micro and macro), and applied time series econometrics.

Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Economics at the University of Graz, where I received my PhD in Economics in 2025.

Current Research

I currently lead the project Bridging Inequality in Distance and Gender: Commuting and Child Penalty in the Austrian Labor Market (funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences). The project examines whether commuting constraints after childbirth contribute to gender gaps in labor market outcomes in Austria. It is joint work with Riccarda Rosenball (Uni Graz), Jos van Ommeren (VU Amsterdam), and Andrea Weber (CEU).
