About Me
🚀 Bridging the Gap between Science and Practice: As the scientific coordinator at CAIS, I focus on the development of and research on innovative concepts for interdisciplinary collaboration in digitalization research. By applying agile methods, among others, in the CAIS research innovation hub, I actively shape the future of science.
My research analyzes hate speech and political education on the internet, simultaneously translating scientific insights into practical didactic concepts for radicalization prevention and media literacy transfer.
As the Equal Opportunity Officer at CAIS, I also advocate for promoting diversity. 💻📚 #Digitalization #Research #MediaLiteracy #Equality #CAIS
