Bio: I am a Professor of Information Systems and Chair of Information Systems II at the Business School of the University of Mannheim.

My research interests cover the economics of information systems, especially the business and market impact of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, online platforms, analytics, and software.

My research has been published (or accepted for publication) in leading scientific journals, including Management Science, Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly, and Journal of Operations Management. It is funded by several organizations, including the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant) and the German Research Foundation (DFG), and has received several awards, including the INFORMS Information Systems Research Best Paper of the Year Award and being named as Top 40 under 40 by the German business magazine Capital. I regularly serve as reviewer for leading scientific journals as well as organizations, including Management Science, the German Research Foundation (DFG) or the German-American Fulbright Commission, as Associate Editor for Business and Information Systems Engineering (BISE), and as expert for the media and organizations, including Handelsblatt, ZEIT and acatech.

My career started at the University of Mannheim, where I studied Wirtschaftsinformatik / Information Systems (B.Sc. 2011, M.Sc. 2013). I continued for a PhD at the University of Mannheim, first by completing the graduate program at the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences (GESS) and then working as a research assistant at the Chair of General Management and Information Systems (Prof. Armin Heinzl) as well as the software company SAP. I graduated in 2017 with a Dr. rer. pol. (business), and stayed for two more years at the University of Mannheim as Habilitand. In 2019, I joined the Technical University of Munich as a Tenure-Track Professor, and I received tenure in 2023. In 2023, I was a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, Oxford Internet Institute. Since 2025, I am a professor at the University of Mannheim.
