Interrogating power in emerging technologies

My research is guided by the assumption that emerging technologies are never neutral, new, or immaterial, but deeply embedded in societies, ecologies, historical (dis-)continuities and normative assumptions. Grounded in Political Theory and Critical Data Studies, I explore how digital technologies reconfigure political rationalities and practices by drawing upon the deployment of simulation technologies like digital twins.

Prior to CBS, I completed a BA and MA in International and European Governance at the University of Münster and Sciences Po Lille with a focus on Politics, Philosophy, and Economy.
