I am an Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Milano (School of Management) at the Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Innovation group and a research fellow at Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition in Munich. My research interests combine the fields of innovation economics and corporate finance, in particular,  entrepreneurial finance, intellectual property rights, and innovation policy. Furthermore, I am a lecturer in Finance at Goethe Business School in Frankfurt and Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen. Previously, I was a Senior Research Fellow (PostDoc) at Max Planck. 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), Deutsche Bundesbank (2017), and Hamburg Institute of International Economics (2014). Since 2023, I have been active in the research network of the Innovation Growth Lab.
