I am a Senior Research Fellow (postdoc) at Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition in Munich. My research interests are in the fields of applied microeconometrics, in particular, innovation economics,  entrepreneurial finance, venture capital, corporate finance (i.e., IP-backed loans and SME finance),  intellectual property rights, innovation and science policy. Most of my work focuses on the interrelation of financial resources and firm-level inventive activities, deploying combinations of micro-level datasets using financial and IP-related data.

​

Furthermore, I am a lecturer in Finance at Goethe Business School in Frankfurt and Vietnamese German University in Ho-Chi-Minh-City. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Goethe University Frankfurt (Management and Microeconomics Department) for my dissertation On the Economics of Innovation and Corporate Finance (summa cum laude). I had research visits at Questrom School of Business, Boston University (2023), the Norwegian School of Economics (2022), the Economics Department of NYU Stern School of Business (2019), the Research Data & Service Centre of Deutsche Bundesbank (2017), and Hamburg Institute of International Economics (2014).
