Interdisciplinary researcher at the intersection of computer science and communication science, with expertise in computational and interpretive methods applied to the study of emerging digital technologies and human–technology relations. My research focuses on human augmentation technologies, cyborg imaginaries, and the diffusion of digital innovations. I am currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Zurich and a member of the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) Excellence Doctoral School.
