Personal

Bastian is an independent researcher who works on both the theory and practice of co-created citizen science and peer production. Overall, his research centers around how open source/science technologies can be used to empower individuals and communities to engage in their own knowledge production. He does so by bringing together applied and theoretical methods from computer/data science, human-computer-interaction and critical science & technology studies.
