Jana Lasser

I am a PostDoc at the Computational Social Science lab at the Graz University of Technology and the Complexity Science Hub Vienna. Drawing from my experience in nonlinear dynamical systems, my current research activity centres around emergent phenomena in complex social systems. I employ methods from machine learning, data science and natural language processing to understand a diverse range of topics in the field of Computational Social Science. My current research interests include the spread of misinformation on social media platforms, the effectiveness of counterspeech strategies, the impact of prosociality on disease spread and the fracturing of our society's understanding of "honesty".
