Johannes Wolfgram

I'm building SRBs at the PSMM to level up data collection for the social sciences.

Currently, working at the University of Potsdam.
Previously, visiting scholar at EFBI.

In the past, I've enjoyed exploring ML applications in social science research, from LLM-driven classification to bot-based studies of political content exposure on social media.
