That's me!

Research

I work as a research associate at the chair for digitized communication and sustainability, lead by Prof. Dr. Kleinen-von Königslöw at Hamburg University.

Before that, I worked as a research associate in the junior research group “DemoRESILdigital”, where we, an interdisciplinary team of communication scientists and computer scientists, analyzed the actors, dissemination and impact of online propaganda, fake news, fear- and hate speech on different target groups to identify and implement suitable intervention and prevention measures to promote democratic resilience.

I was also a part of the BMBF-project “PropStop”, researching methods to identify attempts to influence public opinion through online-propaganda at. During my studies at the Institute for Communication Science (IfK) at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, I worked as a tutor and student assistant, where I was, among other things, involved in the programming of data analysis tools.
