He studied economics (B.Sc.) and Economics and Politics (M.Sc.) at the University of Freiburg, with semesters abroad in Seville and Istanbul. His master's thesis used data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) to study how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the labor-market situation of people with a migration background. Before joining DeZIM he worked as a project manager and data scientist at ZDF Sparks in Berlin.
