Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at the Center for Mathematical Economics at Bielefeld University. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Paris 1 and the University of Louvain.

My research interests are in applied microeconomic theory and game theory, in particular information economics, social and economic networks, industrial organization, and political economy. In 2020, I have received a grant by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for the research project "Information, Fake News, and Social Networks".
