After completing the Bachelor program in "Management and Economics" in 2012, I attended the Master programm in "Banking and Finance" at the University of Innsbruck. In parallel, starting in 2013, I took several courses from the curriculum of the Master program in "Applied Economics" to deepen my knowledge in different fields relevant to my research interests. Starting in October 2014, I attended the PhD Program in Economics" at the University of Innsbruck joint with the Johannes-Kepler-University in Linz, and graduated in June 2018.
During the time as a PhD candicate, I've been affiliated with the chair of Michael Kichler at the Department of Banking and Finance at the University of Innsbruck as a research associate and lecturer. Since I attained my PhD degree, I'm affiliated with the special research unit on "Credence Goods, Incentives, and Behavior" (SFB F63) as a PostDoc in the team of Jürgen Huber.
My research interests comprise different aspects related to the field of behavioral and experimental economics and finance, judgment and decision making, and replicability of experimental results. In particular, I am focusing on individual-level decision making under risk, behavioral biases and heuristics, and on methodological issues related to the field of experimental economics in general.
