Florian is a staff researcher in the group Science, Technology and Social Transformation at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) in Vienna. He studied Sociology at the University of Vienna and at the University of Warsaw for his bachelor degree and did his Masters’ in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at the University of Vienna. He is especially interested in phenomena that lie at the intersection of (new) technologies and social practices and has researched on various topics that relate to novel technologies and/or medicine, such as surrogacy, assisted reproductive technologies, genome editing and Direct-to-consumer genetic testing. In his MA-thesis, he examined a controversy around a planned in situ experiment of solar geoengineering in Sweden. Right now he works in two projects: AI Catalyst for SMEs, which investigates the potentials of AI for small and medium-sized enterprises in Austria and the Czech Republic and AGRO4AGRI, which is a project about a range of novel agrochemicals within which IHS is responsible for conducting a social impact assessment; drawing on ethnographic research and participatory methods.
