I am a PhD candicate in accounting at Freie Universität Berlin, and I will be on the 2026-27 academic job market. I have been a visiting scholar at Duke University (01/2026-05/2026) and Georgia State University (09/2025-12/2025). Before joining academia, I worked as a management accountant in the payment industry.
My research explores the determinants and capital-market consequences of financial reporting oversight. Specifically, I examine how securities regulators scrutinize suspect reporting and disclosure practices, and the informed trading these practices enable, as well as how investors and managers respond to increased oversight. A second strand examines how accounting information is used in debt contracting. Using empirical-archival methods, I aim to generate evidence that helps policymakers design financial reporting oversight to foster fair and efficient capital markets, which ultimately contributes to social welfare.
