Welcome
I am a senior research fellow at the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS), which is part of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. My research is technology assessment (TA) of information technologies. TA is interdisciplinary and problem-oriented research on technological developments and interactions with changes in society. A particular research interest is technology policy and governance.
