Rüller, Sarah, M.Sc.

Vita

Sarah Rüller studied Media Science (B.A.) and Human Computer Interaction (M.Sc.) at the University of Siegen. From 2014 to 2015 she worked as a student assistant at the Universities of Siegen and Bonn. She worked on the research project come_IN (intercultural computer-supported learning) at the Chair of Information Systems and New Media of Prof. Dr. Volker Wulf and for Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter (Chair for Theory and Practice of Multimedia Systems at the University of Siegen, later Chair for Media Cultural Studies at the University of Bonn). From April 2016 to December 2019 she worked as a graduate assistant in the sub-project "B04 - Digital Publics and Social Transformation in the Maghreb" of the Collaborative Research Center 1187 - Media of Cooperation. From January 2017 to December 2018 she coordinated the DAAD-funded research exchange YALLAH! - You All Are Hackers between the University of Siegen and the University Birzeit in Palestine.

In 2020, Sarah Rüller worked as a research associate at the Chair of Information Systems and New Media and the CRC's Sub-Project B04.
