About Me:
I am a PostDoc at the Seminar for Economic Theory.
I did my Ph.D. in the Information Theory
and Bioinformatics group where I addressed statistical
problems dealing
with reverse engineering of genetic networks.
Before that I
studied business and economics at the Munich School of
Management and philosophy at the Department of Philosophy of the LMU Munich.
