Vita

Since January 2017 Olga is employed as a Researcher at the team "Social Analytics and Services" in the Computational Social Science Department. Her research is focused on the evaluation of alternative metrics for measuring scholarly communication and impact. The main focus is the critical reflection of social media data as a basis for novel indicators to measure the influence of scholarly output. The project also aims at a better understanding of how these indicators are perceived by researchers in social sciences and economics.

In 2014, she moved to Germany for pursuing a Master degree in Web and Data Science at the University of Koblenz-Landau. In 2015, she joined the Data Science team at GESIS for working on my Master's thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Claudia Wagner and Dr. Fabian Flöck. The title of the thesis is “Measuring gender inequalities of German professions on Wikipedia”; in this work, they analyze Wikipedia articles and several other data sources along several dimensions to research various hypotheses regarding the gender bias in the data sources. This work touches upon computational social science in a broad sense and it involves very significant programing aspects.

In 2011, she got a Master degree in Information Technologies of Design at Sumy State University, Ukraine. From 2010 till 2013 she worked as a software developer at the Research Institute for Nuclear and Power Pump Building - VNIIAEN.

In 2010, she got a Bachelor degree in Computer Science with specialization in Engineering and Computer Graphics. The Bachelor degree covers System Analyses, Information Systems Design and other computer science classes besides engineering domain courses.

In her spare time, she goes bicycling along the beautiful banks of the Rhine and Mosel rivers.
