I am a fourth-year Ph.D. Candidate in the Supply Chain and Operations department at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. My research focuses on understanding various aspects of organizational misconduct, a term I broadly define as firm behavior that violates established laws or social norms, potentially causing significant harm to consumers, employees, shareholders, and the environment. In my dissertation, I explore the roles of governance reforms and regulatory interventions in preventing misconduct using datasets and methods tailored to each research question.

 

Before joining the University of Minnesota, I worked in business development in the industrial manufacturing industry at LESER GmbH & Co. KG. In this role, I collaborated closely with maintenance departments and regulators to ensure process safety and prevent accidental misconduct. I have a Bachelor's degree from the Nordakademie (Germany) and a Master's degree from Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden).
