Welcome to my personal website. Feel free to have a look around!
I am a PhD student at the Berlin School of Economics since 2023, and affiliated at the Freie Universität Berlin since 2024, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andreas Asseyer and Prof. Dr. Roland Strausz.
I am doing microeconomic theory, mainly focusing on information design and mechanism design. I am particularly interested in the nature of competition under incomplete information.
I serve as the co-organizer of the Berlin PhD Conference in Economics.
