Research Interest

My research centers around digital citizen participation, specifically exploring the design and implementation of platforms and tools used to facilitate participation. I am particularly interested in how these tools can be tailored to different digital participation formats and how they can be used to enhance data literacy among citizens. My current focus is on comparing and contrasting the use cases of citizen science, crowdsourcing, and e-participation to gain a deeper understanding of their capabilities and challenges.

FZI House of Participation

I am coordinating 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. If you are a student looking for an assistant position (Hiwi), a seminar, bachelor or master thesis opportunity, we are always seeking passionate and committed individuals to join our team and contribute to shaping the digital democracy. Start listening to HoPcast – our podcast on democracy and participation in the digital age!
