"Pandemic modeling - modeling the pandemic"
My PhD project examines the particular type of safety knowledge produced by pandemic simulations in the context of infection control measures in Germany and used as a central tool in epidemiological decision-making situations. The analytical focus of the work is on the quantifying handling of uncertainty, the temporal horizons of modeling practice and projections, the moral narratives and calculations staged by the simulations, and the socio-material structures within which the simulation models unfold their power to act.
