Post-doctoral researcher in economics, University of Cologne

I am a post-doctoral researcher in economics at the University of Cologne.

My research focuses on (1) the impact of renewable energy deployment on electricity markets and greenhouse gas emissions (2) the ex-post evaluation of energy and environmental policies such as market integration or carbon taxation, with a particular focus on distributional consequences. I apply modern microeconometric tools to evaluate these policies and provide insights for energy and environmental decision-making.
