About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg (Department of Economics). I am also a Research Affiliate at ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin.
I completed my PhD in Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and Tinbergen Institute in 2025, under the supervision of Olivier Marie (EUR) and Nadine Ketel (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam).
My main research interests include the economics of crime, and gender and labour economics. I am working on the ERC Advanced Grant project "Breaking the Inequality-Crime Cycle", led by Randi Hjalmarsson.
