Profile

🔍Media and Digital Society I’m a postdoctoral researcher of media and digital society at Utrecht University and also, since 2016, with the Collaborative Research Centre ‘Media of Cooperation’ at the University of Siegen (funded by the German Research Foundation, DFG). I’m part of Utrecht University’s focus area ‘Governing the Digital Society’ and teach at the Media and Culture Studies department. Additionally, I’m part of international research collectives including the App Studies Initiative (as co-lead), the Digital Methods Initiative, and the Public Data Lab.

I defended my PhD thesis The Platform as Ecosystem at Utrecht University on 16 September 2022. My dissertation contributes cutting-edge empirical and historical perspectives on digital ‘platforms’ and the configurations and dynamics of their governance and power. It explains the need to ‘map’ and study platforms’ larger ‘ecosystems’, especially their considerable business and app ecosystems. All of the chapters have been published as articles in peer-reviewed journals. The research was jointly supervised by Prof. Dr. José van Dijck (Utrecht University) and Prof. Dr. Carolin Gerlitz (University of Siegen).

As an early-career researcher, I have already made significant empirical, methodological, and theoretical contributions to the interdisciplinary research on digital platforms and infrastructures, platformisation, mobile apps, digital methods, social media, and the digital economy. I have (co-)authored 20+ scholarly publications on topics in these interdisciplinary research areas, which have appeared in some of the field’s leading (including top-ranked) peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, I have (co-)organised and participated in 70+ academic conferences, workshops, and data ‘sprints’. Furthermore, I contributed to several successful research funding applications and (co-)created various research data sets and software tools, as well as at digital skills teaching/training resources for media studies that are openly available and used across institutions.

I previously was a PhD Candidate at Utrecht University (2019–2022) and before that, a Lecturer in New Media and Digital Culture at the University of Amsterdam’s Media Studies department (2014–2018), a Lecturer in Digital Methods at Utrecht University’s Media and Culture Studies department, and with the Utrecht Data School (2016). I also consulted on digital methods and mapping methodologies as a Researcher in the ERC-funded research project CONNECTINGEUROPE (2016).

I obtained my PhD (Humanities) from Utrecht University in September 2022. I also hold a Research Master’s degree in Media Studies from the University of Amsterdam (2015) and a professional degree in Graphic Design from the Willem de Kooning Academy (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, 2012). I obtained my University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) from the University of Amsterdam in August 2017.

Since 2014, I’ve held various academic researcher and lecturer positions in Media Studies (Humanities) at Utrecht University (since 2019, 2016), the University of Siegen (since 2016), and the University of Amsterdam (2016–2018, 2014–2016):

Research Activities

  • Since 2020, I’ve been a (doctoral and postdoctoral) researcher in the focus area ‘Governing the Digital Society’ at Utrecht University, the Netherlands, where I have been working with Prof. Dr. José van Dijck (Distinguished University Professor of Media and Digital Society). This focus area promotes research on the social processes of ‘datafication’, ‘platformisation’, and ‘algorithmisation’ to design and apply principles of (good) governance in digital societies. I’m part of a Special Interest Group on ‘Governing the social media and data economy’, which promotes a multidisciplinary approach on social media and app store economics, monetisation models, and data infrastructures.
  • Since 2016, I’ve been a (doctoral and postdoctoral) researcher in the Collaborative Research Centre ‘Media of Cooperation’ [German: DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich 1187 „Medien der Kooperation”] at the University of Siegen, German, where I have been working with Prof. Dr. Carolin Gerlitz (Professor of Digital Media and Methods). This research centre is externally funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG-SFB-1187) for the funding period 2016–2023 and focuses on the study of digitally networked, data-intensive media as conditions for cooperation from multidisciplinary (social, technological, and practice-based) perspectives. As part of a multidisciplinary research team led by Prof. Dr. Carolin Gerlitz (Digital Media and Methods), I help design digital methods and tools to study the material conditions and politics of digital platforms, (mobile) apps, and software and data infrastructures. Additionally, we explore these topics in the study of digital sensory media, especially smartphones and autonomous vehicles. In 2019–2020, I contributed to the succesful application for extending the funding of this research centre for the funding period 2020–2023 (four years). Some of our key research outcomes are published open access in Social Media + Society, again in Social Media + Society, and in Computational Culture (including a special issue on Apps and Infrastructures), in addition to several published working papers and research data sets.
  • Since 2014, I’ve been part of several international research collectives. I’ve co-founded and led the App Studies Initiative (an international research network for innovative app research) since 2016. Additionally, I’m a member of the Digital Methods Initiative (a leading research group for internet research, led by Prof. Dr. Richard Rogers (Professor of New Media and Digital Culture, University of Amsterdam)) and the Public Data Lab (an international research network for collective enquiry into public issues). As part of these international research collectives, I help design digital methods and tools for the study of digital platforms and apps, and new media and culture generally. I’ve also led and participated in lots of (multidisciplinary) digital methods and apps studies data ‘sprints’ since 2014, including many short-term research projects on social media and digital platforms, (mobile) apps and app stores, tracking technologies, and software and data infrastructures.

My research is published open access in some of the field’s leading (including top-ranked) scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals, including Big Data & Society (interdisciplinary social sciences) and Social Media + Society (communication), as well as in more specialised scholarly journals, such as Internet Policy Review (on internet regulation), Internet Histories, and TMG – Journal for Media History (both media history), and Computational Culture (on software studies). I also guest-(co-)edited Apps and Infrastructures, a special issue of Computational Culture from 2019 that has advanced the empirical study of apps and (and as part of) infrastructures.
