معرفی
Jesse Haapoja serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Aalto University, Finland, with dual affiliation at the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT). He actively contributes to Professor Turpeinen M.'s research group, focusing on the societal implications of algorithmic systems through interdisciplinary collaboration between computing and social sciences.
Research Interests
His work critically examines human-computer interaction in social media ecosystems, emphasizing ethical challenges of content personalization, political discourse moderation, and user agency within algorithmic environments. Haapoja employs science and technology studies (STS) frameworks to investigate how platforms shape journalistic practices, democratic participation, and moral decision-making, with particular attention to Finnish media contexts and cross-cultural digital behaviors.
Publication Trends
Analysis of Haapoja's 2020-2025 publications reveals consistent exploration of algorithmic governance through three evolving lenses: (1) personalization ethics in journalism, (2) moral dimensions of user-algorithm interactions, and (3) strategic manipulation of content moderation systems. His research trajectory demonstrates increasing methodological sophistication in blending qualitative social science with computational analysis to address platform accountability gaps.
