Emma Hoes is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Zurich's Department of Political Science, collaborating on the ERC-funded PRODIGI project. Her research examines how digital technologies influence information quality and trust, with particular focus on unintended consequences: interventions that backfire, platform dynamics that create new problems, and overlooked media content that shapes social orientations. She investigates both the problems emerging from digital transformations and solutions that can address them. Before UZH, she completed her PhD at the European University Institute, studying misinformation and media coverage. Her work is published in Nature Human Behavior, PNAS, Political Communication, and other leading journals.
