About Me
I am a Research Associate and PhD Candidate in Applied Economics at Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. My research focuses on hate crime dynamics, socioeconomic impacts of migration, refugee integration, and policy responses using rigorous econometric methods and large-scale administrative datasets.
My work combines theoretical economics with empirical analysis to address pressing questions about displacement, social cohesion, and evidence-based policymaking in the context of migration and integration.
