Philipp Chapkovski
University of Duisburg-Essen, ERC project POLITSOLID
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen working at the intersection of behavioural economics, political science, finance, and computational social science. I study how information and institutional environments shape cooperation, trust, and decision-making.
My research combines comparative surveys and behavioural experiments with the design of digital research platforms for real-time interaction, markets, and algorithmic systems.
I am open to selected collaborations requiring survey, experimental-design, or research-platform expertise.
