about me

The focus of my work is on the governance of the digital transformation. At acatech (National Academy of Science and Engeneering) I am currently involved in scientific support for the European infrastructure project Gaia-X. Previously, I worked for the media authorities on the regulation of platforms such as Google and Facebook. Prior to that, I conducted research on digital policy at various institutes. My dissertation offers an overview of the central actors, structures and discourses of this policy domain in Germany. Methodologically, I mainly relied on text mining.
