Erik Borra
Currently serving as an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam, I specialize in the intersecting fields of Artificial Intelligence, Platform Studies, and Journalism. I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Information Retrieval, a PhD evaluating the use of platform data for SSH research and introducing new digital research tools in the humanities and social sciences, and am a key contributor to the MA Journalism program.
For over a decade I served as the technical director of the Digital Methods Initiative (DMI), one of Europe’s leading schools for internet studies, where I was also a founding member. I thus had the opportunity to (help) design and implement of dozens of tools to gather, analyze and visualize web data, such as the Twitter Capture and Analysis Toolset (DMI-TCAT), Contropedia, Political Search Trends, the Lippmannian Device, and Prompt Compass.
