Florian has been working at IHS since 2018 and is a Researcher in the research group Social Sustainable Transformation group. He studied Sociology (BA) at the University of Vienna and the University of Warsaw and completed his Master's in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at the University of Vienna. In his Master's thesis, he analyzed a controversy surrounding a planned in-situ solar geoengineering experiment in Sweden.
His research interests are at the intersection of (new) technologies and social practices. In his research, he looks at new technologies and/or medicine, such as surrogacy, assisted reproductive technologies, genome editing, and direct-to-consumer genetic testing. He is currently researching the societal impacts of technological developments in the fields of health and digitalisation, as well as in the context of sustainable agriculture and participatory impact assessment. He applies qualitative and participatory methods to his research. -
