I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at Ruhr University Bochum and a doctoral researcher in the DFG-funded Research Training Group 2484 “Regional Disparities and Economic Policy”. I work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas K. Bauer and expect to complete my PhD in September 2026.
I am currently on the market for postdoctoral and research-oriented early-career academic positions.
My research lies in applied microeconomics, with a focus on migration economics, family economics, housing, and regional inequality. My dissertation, Housing, Migration, and Family Formation: Essays in Empirical Family and Regional Economics, studies how migration and housing-market conditions shape family behavior across three margins: divorce, fertility, and leaving the parental home.
My job market paper, German Internal Migration: A Marriage Market Perspective, studies whether young, female-skewed East-to-West migration after German reunification affected divorce rates in receiving West German districts.
