Manuel is a second-year DPhil student in Social Data Science. In his DPhil research, Manuel studies the extent to which harmful online content moderation may treat users unequally across geographies, from unequal automatic detection performance to unequal moderation enforcement through a potential misalignment between user preferences towards moderation and community guidelines.
Prior to joining the OII, Manuel worked as a research assistant at the World Bank and the Centre Marc Bloch on various computational social science projects. He holds an Engineering degree in Statistics and Economics (eq. to MSc) from ENSAE Paris as well as an MSc in Economics from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. His doctoral work is generously funded by the OII Shirley Scholarship.
