She is also Vice Chair of the Board of Academic Advisors of the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Vice Chair of the Einstein Foundation Berlin, and Vice President Europe of the Economic Science Association (ESA). She is a founding member of the “Matching in Practice” network and a member of the collaborative research center CRC TRR 190 “Rationality and Competition” and the excellence cluster, SCRIPTS.

Her research uses experimental methods and game theory to examine decision-making and market design. In recent years, her work has concentrated on the design of matching markets, such as the centralized procedure for awarding places at universities in Germany. She also looks at the influence of social and moral norms on behavior in markets, and studies educational choices and discrimination in the labour market. In 2020, she  was awarded the Schader Prize. And last October, she received the Prize of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of the foundations of law and economics.
