I am a Doctoral Researcher at the DFG-funded graduate school (KD²School) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Petra Nieken. I hold both a M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management from KIT.

My research interests are in experimental and behavioral economics, with a focus on information economics and signaling. I study how technological environments alter the nature of signaling by weakening traditional links between observable signals and underlying characteristics, thereby changing the trade-offs individuals face when representing themselves.
