Language and Communication as a minor subject (B.A.) and Human Computer
Interaction (M.Sc.) at the University of Siegen.
He works as a research associate at the chair of CSCW and Social Media
in the Center for Smart Production Design funded by the EU
and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
His research interests include participation, maker methodologies,
digital fabrication, innovation and come_IN computer clubs in Palestine.
He pursues qualitative research approaches.
During his studies he was able to contribute as a student assistant to
various research projects at the chairs of Information Systems and New
Media and CSCW and Social Media.
From 2016 on, he focused on field research in Palestine and coordinated
the DAAD funded project YALLAH! You All Are Hackers, where
he supervised students in small research projects around the framing of
social innovation and lectured qualitative research methods for
empirically based design.
Eversince, he coordinated the research projects of the Chair of
Information Systems and New Media in Palestine and also worked in the
BMBF-funded project PiHub and in the EU funded project Fostering Entrepreneurship in Science,
Technology, Engineering & Math (FESTEM).
His master thesis “(Un-)Sustainable ICT-interventions in occupied
Palestine” is a case study summarizing 9 years of research on come_IN
computer clubs in Palestine and investigated factors for sustainable
ICT-centered communities.
Before and during his studies he worked as a freelancer in media design
(web, print, mobile) and game design.
