Emese Domahidi studied Media and Communication Science, Modern German Literature and Philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin. From January 2010 until September 2012 she worked as a research assistant in the ERC project “The social fabric of virtual life: A longitudinal multi-method study on the social foundations of online gaming (SOFOGA)” with Prof. Dr. Thorsten Quandt at the University of Hohenheim. From October 2012 until May 2015 she was employed as a research assistant in the ERC project SOFOGA with Prof. Dr. Thorsten Quandt at the University of Münster. In September 2015 she obtained a doctorate with her thesis “Online Media Use and Perceived Social Resources. A Meta-Analysis” at the University of Münster. From August 2015 until September 2017 she did her postdoc at the junior research group Social Media with Prof. Dr. Sonja Utz at Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien in Tübingen.
