I'm a Europe-based complex systems scientist from Perth, Australia, interested in how the internet, and social media, are influencing the societal evolution. My research focuses on two key questions: what makes online discourse healthy and productive, and how we can design better recommendation systems to support democracy. I'm therefore broadly involved in algorithm design, sociology, and political philosophy.

My motivating belief is that better collective decision-making is possible—one that does not simply attempt to avoid the harms and power imbalances of the current internet, but a future where the internet and governance itself can evolve and exploit the capabilities of technology to facilitate collectives make better decisions than ever before.

My current home is the Complex Social & Computational Systems group at the University of Graz, under the supervision of Prof. Jana Lasser.
