About me

I'm a trained MSc. Data Scientist (@Oxford) and Economist (@Mannheim) from Germany 💻
I'm interested in research topics within the domain of {market design, deep learning, computational social science} 🔭.
I'm a running enthusiast 🏃🏻‍♂️
My work was featured in major German newspaper like Die Zeit, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and Wirtschaftswoche.
