Carsten Becker serves as an Honorary Professor specializing in European and German antitrust and competition law while concurrently holding the executive position of Director of the Federal Cartel Office (Bonn) and Head of the Competition and Consumer Protection Division. His dual roles bridge academic theory with frontline regulatory enforcement, bringing unparalleled practical insights to legal education.
His research and teaching expertise centers on antitrust law, competition law, antitrust procedural law, and energy law – with particular emphasis on regulatory frameworks governing European and German markets. These fields intersect critically in energy sector regulation where market competition faces unique structural challenges.
As a high-ranking official at Germany's national competition authority, Becker directly shapes antitrust policy enforcement while translating real-world case experience into academic instruction. His teaching complements the sub-specialization program through practitioner perspectives on cartel investigations, merger control, and consumer protection mechanisms.
