Welcome!

I am a senior researcher & lead the Digital Society Observatory Team at Gesis. I am also an external fellow at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES). Previously I worked at the LMU Social Data Science and AI Lab, the University of Freiburg, the MZES, the European University Institute and the University of Bern. I conduct research at the intersection of social data science, methodology, artificial intelligence, digital behavioral data and (political) sociology. Google Scholar provides an overview of my research. I also regularly teach workshops on data visualization, machine learning, causal inference and shiny (see workshops).
