Short bio:

I work as a researcher and the deputy head of Department of Economic Policy at theFaculty of Economics and Finance,University of Economics in Bratislava. My expertise lies in microeconomics, empirical industrial organization, and competition. I focus on the organization of markets, particularly healthcaremarkets and other regulated or public sector markets, primarily using applied microeconomic methods. I study how incentives shape firm behavior and how firms’ responses, in turn, affect market outcomes. Previously, I held academic and research positions at Copenhagen Business School and Vienna University of Economics and Business.  I earned my PhD in Economics in 2019 with a thesis on evaluating the efficiency of mergers, under the supervision of Professor Mikuláš Luptáčik. In 2023, I was honored to be elected as a fellow of the Slovak Economic Association, where I currently serve on the board as its secretary. Since 2024, I have also served as a member of the Council of the Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic.
