Fabian Braesemann, Dr.

Dr Fabian Braesemann is an Associated Reseracher at the HIIG.
Fabian is interested in social data science applications, such as network analysis and data mining, to the study of innovation, the platform economy and social processes. 

Having worked as a data scientist in industry and academia, Fabian has investigated social phenomena with a multitude of different online data sets in domains as different as marketing, real estate, innovation, online freelancing, and political extremism. He is confident that, thanks to the availability of large data sets and computational methods, it will be possible to describe social phenomena with the same accuracy as processes in the natural sciences.

Fabian has studied economics in Berlin, Warsaw and Vienna. He holds a doctoral degree from Vienna University of Economics and Business (2016) and he works as a Data Scientist at the University of Oxford since 2017.
