About

Welcome to my website!

Currently I am research associate of the president of the ERC, and I am teaching at the Department of Social Studies of Science and at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Vienna and at the MA program WebSciences at the Art Academy Linz. My research interests are manifold: scientific visualization and imagination practices, the various enactments of social scientific knowledge, science communication, computer machine interfaces, information retrieval, new digital methodologies, social and semantic networks… My PhD thesis, “Imag(in)ing Networks” (working title was: “Performative truths: images as affective evidences”) covers epistemic visualization practices in Social Network Analysis. From 2009-2011 I was working at the Information Retrieval Facility, and from 2005 - 2007 I was employed part time in an Austrian Science Fund research project on “The Materiality and Temporality of Performative Speech-Acts” at the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna. During the 1990s I worked at Public Netbase. Besides, I was freelancing ….
