Researchers

Joschka is a research assistant and doctoral student at the Institute for Entrepreneurship at Hamburg University of Technology.

His research interests revolve around the participation of nascent tech firms in open-source communities and its implications for attracting VC funding. The online activities of software developers allow to construct fine-grained social networks at high temporal resolution that proxy collaboration, coordination, or communication structures in software teams. This facilitates data-driven studies of social systems not only in empirical software engineering, but also in areas like computational social science, social network analysis, organizational theory, or management science.
