CV

I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Accounting at the University of Mannheim in Germany and will be on the 2025/26 academic job market. During the 2024/25 academic year, I spent a research visit at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Prior to joining the Ph.D. program, I received a double degree M.Sc. in Accounting from the University of Mannheim and Bocconi University and a B.Sc. in Business Administration, also specializing in Accounting, from the University of Mannheim.

My research explores how the design of firm disclosure shapes decision-making and real effects. Specifically, I investigate how stakeholders respond to disclosures that differ in detail, from broad industry averages to product-specific information, and how they weigh different types of information, such as financial versus non-financial data. To address this question, I use a combination of archival and survey-based experiments.
