I am an economic data scientist at the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at ETH Zurich. My previous professional experience covers research and policy positions at the European Central Bank and the Swiss National Bank. During my doctoral studies, I was part of the Price-Setting Microdata Analysis (PRISMA) network.
I received my PhD from ETH Zurich in 2024. I also hold a Master of Science (MSc) in International and Monetary Economics and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Mathematics and Philosophy. My academic performance has been honored with multiple awards.
