Business & Economics

I studied economics at the University of Bonn and completed my doctorate at the University of Cologne. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the International Max Planck Research School. In 2012/2013, I embarked on a research journey at the University of California, San Diego. Following that, I spent two enriching years (2013-2015) as a research assistant at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. Then, in 2016, I embraced the role of a junior professor at the Mercator School of Management at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Recently, in March 2024, I transitioned to the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics as a Lecturer above the Bar.My research endeavors revolve around probing into behavioral economics and management. Specifically, I delve into unraveling the intricate decisions of individuals influenced by social preferences. Throughout my studies, I've found that factors such as fairness, aversion to inequity and lies, the aspiration for collaborative efforts, and other non-monetary utility considerations significantly shape decision-making processes. My research methods encompass a blend of field, laboratory, and online experiments. Over the years, my focus has expanded to encompass management issues, such as the exploration of women's representation in leadership roles.Furthermore, I bring a wealth of teaching experience across various academic levels¿be it Bachelor, Master, or PhD programs. I've taught an array of subjects spanning econometrics, behavioral economics, and strategic management.
