About

Hello, my name is Anke Stoll.

I am a postdoc researcher for online communication, computational social science and artificial intelligence at the Ilmenau University of Technology in Germany.

In my research, I study the spread of incivility and populism in online environments, such as social media, participation platforms, and news media, using computational methods. I am particularly interested in the investigation of bias in such methods (e.g., machine learning) with the aim of developing fair and accountable approaches for both research and practical applications.

CV

Post Doc Researcher at Ilmenau University of Technology

In April 2023 I started a position as postdoctoral researcher at the department of Computational Communication Science at Ilmenau University of Technology. Here, I am researching alternative news media and populism as well as the potentials and risks of artificial intelligence in online public spheres.

Research Associate at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf

Between June 2018 and April 2023 I was a research associate and Phd student at the department of Political Online Communication at the University of Düsseldorf. During my PhD, I developed machine learning approaches for communication science research and online moderation software to detect harmful content in online discussions.

Studies of Communication & Media Science in Leipzig, Münster and Zurich

In 2014, I finished my bachelor in communication and media science at the University of Leipzig. Afterwards, I studied communication science at the University of Münster between 2014 and 2018. In 2016, I was a visiting scholar at the Communication and Media Research department at the University of Zurich.
