About Me
I am the founder of Akku (https://akku.network), where I am building smart payment systems that combine blockchain infrastructure, AI agents, and loyalty mechanisms to empower local commerce.
Previously, I held academic research positions at the Chair of Data Science in the Economic and Social Sciences, the Mannheim Center for European Social Science Research (MZES), the Alfred-Weber Institute of Economics at Heidelberg University, Microsoft Research Computational Social Science NYC, the Northeastern Network Science Institute, the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science, and ETH Zürich.
My work sits at the intersection of technology and society, with a focus on AI-driven systems, network dynamics, and behavioral experimentation.
