Zehring, Maximilian

Maximilian Zehring studied "Applied Media and Communication Science" in his Bachelor's degree at the Ilmenau University of Technology. From 2018 to 2020, he completed his master's degree in "Media and Communication Science", also at TU Ilmenau. In his master's thesis, he focused on researching stereotypes towards East Germans on Twitter and tried to design a model using Supervised Machine Learning and Automated Text Analysis to filter stereotypical language towards East Germans in an automated way.

During his studies, he worked as a research assistant for Prof. Dr. Jens Wolling at the Department of Empirical Media Research and Political Communication and also for Prof. Dr. Emese Domahidi at the Department of Communication Studies with a focus on Computational Communication Science. Since October 2020, Maximilian Zehring has been supporting Prof. Dr. Emese Domahidi at the latter department as a research assistant and doctoral student.
