I am research fellow and PhD student at the ICT&S Center, University of Salzburg. I am teaching at the department of communication studies since the winter term 2007.

I have studied communication science at the University of Salzburg where I received a BA in 2004 and an MA in 2006. Throughout the summer of 2009 I was visiting scholar at the iSchool, University of Washington, Seattle.

Since 2004 I support the research activities in the field of Internet and Society at the ICT&S Center, University of Salzburg. My research topics revolve around free, libre, and open source software (FLOSS), social software, and science-technology-studies. I am also interested in grassroots politics/activism and how technologies can be used to support political participation.
