Since February 2026, I have been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the International and Comparative Political Economy department at the OSI. Prior to that, I completed my doctorate at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne (2020-2025), worked as a trainee at the Deutsche Bundesbank (2019-2020), and as a research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (2019).

SoSe 2026
1. Political Economy of Central Banking and Money across Global South and North (taught in English)
2. Political Economy of Sovereign Debt (taught in German)

My research lies at the intersection of political economy, macrofinance, and political theory. In my doctoral thesis, I addressed the question of how ideas influence our economic policy. In a comparative study of four central banks (Fed, ECB, Banco Central de Chile, Banco Central de la República Argentina), I examined the extent to which the idea of a “natural” unemployment rate, growth rate, or interest rate influences the modern monetary policy paradigm. A brief description can be found here.

A second field is the study of power structures surrounding the issue of government debt and, above all, the question of who the creditors of the state are.
