I am a Post Doctoral Research Fellow with the CCP and hold a degree in Law from Potsdam University (2004), an LLM in Competition Policy (2008) and a PhD (2011) from the University of East Anglia.

My PhD thesis scrutinised the assumptions which underpin EU private antitrust enforcement policy contrasting them with novel litigation data, a law and economic assessment of the current policy and a comparison of remedies used in antitrust litigation in England and Germany.

My main research area is the private enforcement of competition law, the economic analysis of law and comparative law. I have undertaken empirical work in the field of antitrust enforcement and am currently working with a unique litigation dataset. Other research projects deal with comparative law including European, German, English and US competition law, litigation systems and class actions. I am also interested in the interplay of private and public law enforcement and enforcement institutions. My work is extending into the analysis of Article 102 and consumer protection. For past projects I have worked on merger control and consumer protection laws.

I speak English, German, Spanish and I have a  working knowledge of French and Russian.
