I am post-doc at Maastricht University and study how hypes and narratives influence technology development and hinder error-correction in science. I examine linguistic and material factors that make stories disseminate and how these stories influence our agendas and models, and matter to our actions – even when people know that they are to a large extent mere speculation. Before I joined the ERC NanoBubbles project at FASoS, I worked on the Vision Assessment of 3d printing, microalgae nutrition, and nuclear waste management at the Institute for Technology Assessment (ITAS) in Karlsruhe.

I am co-editing a Peeriodical on hype & overpromising: https://peeriodicals.com/peeriodicals/hype-and-over-promising-in-science-and-technology
