Welcome to my website! I am an economist working as Head of the Capital Markets/Financial Structure Division in the Directorate General Monetary Policy of the European Central Bank. Prior to joining the ECB, I have been an Economist in the Economics department of Deutsche Bundesbank.
I hold a PhD (Dr. rer. pol.) and an MA (Dipl.-Volkswirt) in economics from Bielefeld University. My research focuses on financial markets, monetary macroeconomics and applied econometrics, and my work has been published in refereed journals.
