I am a computational economist employed as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at University of Copenhagen. My main research interests are solving and estimating dynamic economic models. I have worked with models of intertemporal consumption and saving in relation to fertility behavior and children and labor supply and retirement.

I am affiliated with the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) based in Copenhagen.
