What is the most interesting thing you are working on at the moment? 

The most interesting part of my life is that I’m finally able to play all day long! I love to build new seminars, conjure new projects into being, and play with new people in order to build and improve. 

What is your favourite part of your role at NEWTON?

Same answer! To play with ideas, combining them with the most modern knowledge, and best methods for experiential learning, so that I can learn and improve my seminars and lectures.

What does your research focus on right now?

My research is currently focused on cooperation and reputation — how it affects behaviour, effort, and transgressions.

Tell us one interesting thing about yourself.

In my free time I love to do classic introverted stuff — reading books, googling new things about topics I love, endurance sports, and making things up from scratch.
