\hdline{\linewidth}{Research Interests} \par
Methodologically my main interest lies in the systematic analysis of media---mainly via automated content analysis and natural language processing methods. 
I predominantly use R for this and also started to develop several open-source software packages with functions that I use in my current research or I think will be interesting for future research projects.

My main empirical interest remains in political communication and especially in the topic of media coverage of protest events and their significance for political discourse in representative democracies.
Currently I also develop my own research line on diffusion of ideas in hybrid media systems.
Both topics are closely connected to my interest in media discourse as well as representation of dissent and demonstrations in the media.
