I am a Professor of Applied Data Science at Bern University of Applied Sciences and Affiliate Professor of Economics at the University of St. Gallen. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of data science, quantitative political economics, and online media economics.

I am PI for the SNSF Grants on Consequences of Personalized Information Provision Online: Segregation, Polarization, and Radicalization (2022-2026) and on Ideological Ad Targeting in Consumer Markets and the Political Market Place (2023-2027).

Before joining the University of St. Gallen, I was a Visiting Researcher at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
