What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue combining quantitative research with teaching, particularly in mathematics, statistics, political economy, and computational methods.

I'm an incoming doctoral researcher in Political Economy at King’s College London, building on an MSc in Neural Systems and Computation at ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich. My master’s thesis, completed in the ETH Department of Economics, applied prospect theory to electoral competition.

I've taught mathematics, statistics, Python, and JavaScript across school and university settings, from algorithmic-thinking workshops in Zurich to one-to-one support in Further Mathematics, linear algebra, complex analysis, probability, regression, and exam preparation. I also contributed statistical analysis to MRI research at EUROMEDICA and bring a mathematics degree completed in three years with the second-highest average in a cohort of 250 students.
