Hello! My name is Luna Frauhammer and I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Cognitive Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. I research informal learning processes on social media and am especially interested in the metacognitive aspects thereof (e.g., whether social media news use leads to an illusion of knowledge).

I studied Psychology at the University of Tübingen, and had a strong focus on statistics and psychomterics. I am also very interested in Computer Science, and attended many related courses. During my Ph.D., I also started to work in Data Science projects and competed in some Coding Competitions.

On this website, you can find some supplementary materials for my research (mainly power-simulations, for all code / data / materials please visit my OSF page), as well as some examplary code I wrote for research and leisure projects.

Power Simulations for Research Projects:

• Attitudinal Congruence
• Effects of Meta-Knowledge (currently anonymized for peer-review)

Code from Research Projects:

• Linkage Analysis (Combination of behavioral data and social media content data)

Code from Coding Competitions

• Cherry Blossom Prediction Contest 2024 (Awarded 1st prize (best model))
