SHORT BIOGRAPHY

After finishing a double bachelor’s degree in ”Internet Computing” (Computer Science) and “Media and Communications”, I followed up on my research interest in data science and data driven journalism by pursuing a master’s degree in ”Social and Economic Data Analysis”. Within my doctoral research I focus on news analysis and am working on a system to automatically detect media bias.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are:

  • Media bias analysis
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Network Analysis

TEACHING & PROJECTS

We offer many different projects within the domain of media bias and NLP. You can always contact me, and I’ll give you an overview.
