About us:

At the SODA lab, we care about the thoughtful use of data, from its collection and analysis to decision-making based on the available evidence. Our goal is to critically reflect on, interrogate and improve the use of data in social science research and beyond. SODA is part of the Munich Center of Machine Learning that unites leading researchers in Germany, to strengthen competence in the field of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

We work together as a team of researchers from many different fields, and collaborate closely with colleagues from other institutions, with practitioners and policy-makers. Between us, we combine a multitude of backgrounds, varied experiences and different knowledge. We bring these to bear on a wide range of exciting projects, many of which have direct relevance to social issues.

As a team, we believe that diversity – in ages, abilities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and perspectives – makes not only for a richer life together, but also for a better team outcome. We know that people do their best work when they feel like they belong, when they are valued as individuals and treated as peers. We value empathy and honesty, care for one another and the work we do. We try to foster a collegial and collaborative environment where everyone brings their full selves to work, knowing that they’ll be supported to succeed. We hope you’ll join us!
