I am a social scientist with a background in economics (PhD) and public administration (MA). I study the impact of technology on the labor market, skills, migration and diasporas. I am interested in development, public policy and labor economics. I am currently a resident scientist at the Complexity Science Hub and a visiting professor at the Central European University, both located in Vienna, Austria. I co-direct the Growth CoLab at CEU.
