About me

My research covers topics related to the media, algorithms, and their relation to political and market institutions. Methodologically, I specialize in developing new approaches to quantify politically and economically relevant concepts from unstructured data such as text.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Paris School of Economics.

Before, I worked as a Post-Doctoral researcher at ETH Zurich and the University of St.Gallen. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of St.Gallen (summa cum laude, 2023), supervised by Roland Hodler. I visited the Paris School of Economics in 2021 and 2022, hosted by Ekaterina Zhuravskaya. In 2019, I visited ETH Zurich, hosted by Elliott Ash.
