I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Bayreuth, where I work with Prof. Dr. Sebastian Braun on a DFG-funded project on historical political economy and demographic change in Germany.
My research focuses on political behavior, demographic change, and religious affiliation in Germany between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. Methodologically, I combine archival digitization, econometrics, and machine learning to build novel historical datasets. More recently, I have developed reproducible LLM-based workflows for large-scale digitization of historical sources, which is forthcoming in the Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftsgeschichte. You can access my research papers and projects on the Research page.

I have taught courses in data science, machine learning and AI, econometrics, and economic history at both the undergraduate and graduate level, using Python and R. My courses combine lectures with hands-on coding sessions and collaborative projects. Details are on the Teaching page.
