In this role, I have launched the US-presence of our venture and built a fully operational entity. Currently, I am working on developing industry partnerships, exploring innovative ways of introducing NUBIGON to a wider audience and raising the necessary funds.

As a Research Assistant to David Howell, I was involved in a series of labor market studies addressing the impact of unemployment benefits on work incentives, the relationship between economic growth and employment, and how institutions and policies shape the low-pay sector in OECD countries, just to name a few. Throughout these projects, my contribution heavily centered around the quantitative labor market analysis using survey data, and the development of policy indicators. Specifically, I have made contributions to the following publications and projects: "From economic growth to decent jobs and middle-class prosperity? Post-1979 U.S. employment performance in international perspective" 18-month research project funded by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth and the Russel Sage Foundation. 2014.

At the New School, I have taught the courses at the graduate (Economics for Management & Public Policy and Development Economics) and undergraduate level (Quantitative Methods). Building on my experience as a Teaching Assistant, I have deployed various methods of connecting academic research with the ongoing public discourse and the lived-experience of students of various ages and from a diverse set of backgrounds.

As a Teaching Assistant of the courses Development Economics, Quantitative Methods and Economics for Management and Public Policy I ran lab sessions providing a deep dive into the quantitative aspects of the courses. Complemented with an intensive use of data visualization, I focused on making economic and mathemathical learning materials more accessible to students at the graduate and undergraduate level.

At the Leo Baeck Institute, I ran the Oral History Project "Austrian Heritage Collection" as part of my mandatory civil service for the Republic of Austria. The Austrian Heritage Collection is a program that aims to document the history of Austrian-Jewish émigrés who fled to the USA during the Nazi years. As part of this project, I have developed a comprehensive interview database, optimized operational workflows and conducted numerous oral history interviews all along the East Coast and Florida.

I worked as a business editor and translator covering the Turkish energy and ICT markets with daily press reviews customized for numerous European corporate clients.
