Hi y’all, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris under the supervision of Étienne Ollion. Visit css.cnrs.fr to see my research group’s activities. In Spring 2024, I spent three amazing months as a Visiting Scholar at Duke University’s Worldview Lab. Currently, I am a Research Fellow at Leipzig University where I am teaching a course on CSS methods.
I hold an M.Sc. in Computational Social Science from Linköping University and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Regensburg. My research interest centers around political polarization and its underlying processes which I study using large-scale (social) media data and a diverse set of computational methods. Projects provides you an overview of the current research projects I’m involved with.
At the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, we have also organized two Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science. Find more information here (2022; 2023) and course materials here (2022; 2023). I have also been fairly busy teaching a bunch of courses at different universities. Visit Courses to find more information and selected course materials.
