Welcome to my website.

Since October 2022 I am Professor of Economics at the Ruhr University of Bochum. Furthermore, I am an Associate Fellow at the "Digital Futures at Work Research Centre" (Digit) at the University of Sussex.

For the winter term 20/ 21, I received an Alfried Krupp Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Greifswald.
From October 2017 - 2019 I have been a Marie Curie Junior Research Fellow at Durham University.

My Research addresses Data Science, Big Data Analyses, Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Innovation Economics, Regional Economics, International Economics, Labour Economics, and Firm Dynamics.

I have been working extensively with the official German firm data on various projects (data based on the whole population of firms/ plants in the German economy).
You can find my papers on the following websites, or on Researchgate or SSRN.
My Twitter account can be found here, and my LinkedIn account is here.
