My research group @Weizenbaum

I lead an interdisciplinary team investigating Trust in Distributed Environments, or how blockchain-related technologies (could) impact contemporary societies.

The Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society investigates the ethical, legal, economic and political aspects of digital change. On the basis of its research findings, action options are developed for government, the economy and civil society, in order to shape the digital transformation in a responsible manner. From March 2018 to September 2022 I was leading the Weizenbaum research group Trust in Distributed Environments.

In a nutshell, we are team of computer scientists, economists, legal scholars and sociologists, tackling various exciting research questions in the wider context of cryptocurrencies, legal automation and peer-to-peer networks. We also do various forms of research transfer, including activities that we like to describe as demystifying Blockchain.
