About
I am a senior economist specializing in macro-finance and regulation. I got into smart contract (Web3) audits by accident, now I love it and also help crypto projects with their economics and cyber security. Nine years of experience in econometric and risk modelling (ECB, DIW Berlin, European Parliament, Deutsche Bank, and Bundesbank). Experienced with all stages of the development cycle for dynamic econometric models, databases, and software – including AI/ML.
Project management experience from large scale events. Extensive experience publishing research or policy related deliverables.
I am also a researcher who focuses on applied macroeconomics and financial economics. I was part of the research group on “Macroeconomic fundamentals and asset prices – state dependence and implications for the conduct of monetary policy”. Moreover, I conduct research on monetary policy, money and swap markets, systemic risk & uncertainty, and fiscal policy. I have written policy publications on the euro as a common currency, the ECBs toolbox, helicopter money, the Basel III regulatory framework, the negative income tax and policy responses to the corona pandemic.
On my education: I studied Economics and Scientific Computing in Augsburg, Berlin (FU/HU/TU), Hong Kong (CUHK) and Moscow (HSE). I received my PhD, from the Humboldt University and the DIW Graduate Center under the supervision of Prof. Marcel Fratzscher, PhD.
