Studying science & technology in society

AI, Algorithms & Data Practices

How do AI, algorithms and “big data” reshape knowledge production? My research on algorithms asks how new information technologies are changing knowledge production.

At the moment I am PI for a research group around Synthetic Data in the national WASP-HS initiative, where I am also part of the management team.

Knowledge Infrastructures

Knowledge infrastructures is a long-standing research interest, where I ask how digital infrastructures reshape the world and how we perceive it.

I am leading two projects on how infrastructure shapes disease surveillance: Blind Spots in Pandemic Preparedness and Pandemic Infrastructures.

Valuations & Classifications

How are different values—such as economic, ethical, or scientific valus—balanced in practice? How are valuations interlinked with classification practices? My research on valuations and classifications studies how society and nature is ordered in practice, for example in the biosciences or in disease surveillance.
