Welcome to my website.

I am happy to announce that from 2024 - 2025, I will be at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in the Canada Blanch Centre as a Miguel Dols Fellow. Moreover, I am an Affiliate at the LSE Data Science Institute (DSI) since October 2024. 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. In the winter term 2020/ 2021, I was an Alfried Krupp Junior Research Fellow at the University of Greifswald. From October 2017 - 2019 I was 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. You can hear me talk about Automation/ Robots, Reshoring, and its implications for the Future of Work here: 'ForeignBrief TwentyTwenty Podcast': Automation Acceleration, at https://open.spotify.com/episode/1AatbH8EuFPwZf6gRFozQ0

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.
