Research Interest

I am studying digital behaviour in the field of political psychology with a focus on online disinformation and social media communication. For this, I generally draw on statistical methods and data science approaches.

FZI House of Participation

I am a member of the House of Participation (HoP), an FZI competence center fostering digital participation and democracy. At HoP, we focus on creating impactful digital interactions that enable all individuals to participate in decision-making across various spheres including the workplace, social life, cultural sector and political matters.
