Friedolin Merhout is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen where he is affiliated with the Center for Social Data Science (SODAS). His research uses computational and experimental methods to examine intergroup relations leveraging digital trace, text, survey, and administrative data. Recent publications have used Google search data to study the link between discrimination and radicalization; and combined digital trace data, large-scale field experiments, and panel surveys to study the effects of echo chambers and disinformation campaigns on social media.

Merlin Schaeffer is an Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Copenhagen. He works on the conceptual and theory-driven empirical analysis of immigration-based ethnic diversity and stratification, as well as their contentious political consequences. Most of his empirical work relies on state-of-the-art statistical methods, which he uses to analyze survey data, (online) experiments, behavioral games, register and spatial data, or new forms of digital trace data.
