At FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik I coordinate the research project TWON – Twin of Online Social Networks funded by the European Commission with a focus on communication and dissemination of results. As a sociologist I am interested in societal polarization, the influence of online social networks on democratic debates and the role of AI in the spread of disinformation.

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 processes 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 digital democracy. Start listening to HoPcast – our podcast on democracy and participation in the digital age!
