I took up my position as Professor of Economic Geography at the Department in March 2010. Before coming to Zurich, I held a professorship in economic geography at the University of Frankfurt. Earlier stages of my academic career were the University of Cambridge (UK), where I received my PhD, the place of my habilitation, the University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, and for a short period as a Visiting Scholar the University of California, Los Angeles.
