I am interested in information technology that has a positive impact on societal values – such as democratic participation, ethically informed decision making and sustainability. Specifically, the following areas:

• Digital participation tools (see this inspiration)
• Societal polarization (see this paper)
• Science communication (see this article)
• Algorithm ethics and fair AI
• Interpretable AI

Within the WIN group, my research focuses on the SOSEC project, where I investigate the relation of individual convictions, sentiments and behavior with social media usage and news events. Further, a focus lies in creating accessible evaluations for decision makers, press representatives as well as the general public that are both informative and easily understandable.

As a research group, we are always seeking passionate and committed individuals to join our team and contribute to shaping digital democracy! If you are a student looking for a student assistant position, a seminar, bachelor or master thesis opportunity, feel free to reach out - we would love to have you on board.
