Curriculum Vitae

I studied Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg and the Free University of Berlin and received my Ph.D. from the University of Karlsruhe with a thesis on individual decision making under uncertainty. After a post-doc year at Harvard I joined the Department of Economics at the University of Vienna where I received my habilitation in 1997. From 1997 to 2003 I was associate professor of economics at Bonn University, and since 2003 I am full professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (formerly, University of Karlsruhe).

My research centers around topics in microeconomic theory, especially decision theory and social choice theory. In either area, I am interested both in normative questions and in issues related to behavioral analysis.

I held visiting positions at a number of institutions abroad, among them the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the University of California at Davis, the University of Melbourne, the University of Auckland and the Université Paris-Dauphine. In March 2020, I have been appointed „Leading International Researcher“ of the Higher School of Economics (Russian Federation). In the academic year 2021/22, I have been appointed „Oliver Smithies Visiting Fellow“ at Balliol College, Oxford University.

I am managing editor of Social Choice and Welfare, member of the Editorial Board of Economics and Philosophy, and co-editor of the "Handbook fo Rational and Social Choice" for Oxford University Press.

I served as dean (2008 - 2012) and vice-dean ("Prodekan", 2004 - 2008 and 2014 - 2016) of the Department of Economics and Management at KIT. Since 2018 I am elected member of the senate of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
