About myself
[I am on the market for a new position for 2026-27]
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics and Business Economics of Aarhus University. In 2022–24, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Aarhus University and FAIR at NHH Norwegian School of Economics. I am affiliated to the Economic Science Laboratory at the University of Arizona.
I am a micro-economist and my research centers on experimental economics and the economics of discrimination. I draw on several other fields, mostly behavioral and labor economics, but also education and political economy.
I am the recent recipient of a DFF Research Project 1 grant (approx. 425,000 EUR or 500,000 USD) to work on beliefs about gender differences and actual differences.
