Patricia Hölscher
My name is Patricia Hölscher, I’m 22 years old, and I’m graduating in industrial engineering from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in the fall. In addition to my engineering focus, I am interested in the topic of digitization from a social, economic, and technical perspective. It is important to me to stimulate discussions about the opportunities of digitization, as well as to identify and address challenges.

Sofie Schönborn
As a Master’s student in “Technology Policy” at Cambridge University in England, I deal with interfaces between technology, politics and society, especially data policy in China and the EU. In addition to working in university research for many years, I have already gained practical experience at two international cloud service providers, as well as in cybersecurity advisory. In my spare time, you can often find me at workshops, seminars and conferences – as a co-organizer or enthusiastic learner.

Luca Neuperti
Society and technology have to be thought together! That’s why I (23) double major in computer science and sociology (political science minor).
When I’m not initiating new projects a bit too enthusiastically, I’m learning Korean, participating in science slams or creating videos on my YouTube channel. Other projects include a start-up for vegan camembert and a YouTube dating show for political positions.

Simon Wimmer
My name is (also) Simon, I’m 21 years old and I’m currently studying Business Informatics at TUM. I am particularly interested in the social scientific reflection on technological developments. In my opinion, it is an important building block for using innovations beneficially. Outside of my studies, I can be found either among friends, at lectures or on a field hockey pitch.
