I am head of the Health Care Markets and Health Policy research group at ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim and Professor of Economics at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. I am also affiliated with M-CHEP, the Munich Center for Health Economics and Policy and serve as an Academic Editor at PLOS Digital Health. Before joining ZEW, I worked as a PostDoc at RWI Essen and as a consultant for digital health startups. I got my PhD from FAU in November 2018. Before that, I obtained my Master degree from LMU Munich in 2014 and undergratuate degrees from FAU in 2012 and the University of Hull in 2011.

My research is in the areas of health economics and applied econometrics. I am especially interested in behavioral and institutional aspects of medical service provision and how digitalization shapes health care services.
