Short Summary

I am fellow at the Center for European Social Science Research at Mannheim University (MZES) and a postdoc at the Alfred-Weber Institute of Economics at Heidelberg University.
 

Previously, I worked at Microsoft Research Computational Social Science NYC, the Northeastern Network Science Institute, and the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science.
 

I obtained my PhD in Computational Social Science at ETH Zurich.

 

Research Interests

  • consensus formation, social influence, and polarization;
  • incentives schemes for collective intelligence, in particular peer review systems;
  • governance in blockchain systems;
  • optimal experimental designs, Bayesian optimization with Gaussian processes;
  • inequality, perception thereof and its consequences;
  • noise, efficiency and equality in coordination and public-good games;
  • philosophy of science, in particular Paul Feyerabend's body of work.

 

Software Development

I am also an active open source developer. I am the creator of the nodeGame JavaScript platform for conducting real-time online group behavior:  https://nodegame.org.
