About

Hi, I’m Dr. Malte Hückstädt 😊. I was born in 1983 in Schwedt/Oder. I studied fine art in Hannover (FH Hannover) and Berlin (KH-Berlin) from 2004 to 2009 and sociology in Berlin (HU Berlin) and in Bielefeld (Bielefeld University) from 2014 to 2018. I have been working at the German Centre for Science and Higher Education Research (DZHW) since 2018 in various research projects and contexts as a (Social) Data Scientist. In 2023, I successfully completed my PhD on the topic of research collaboration at Leibniz Universität Hannover. I have been working as a data scientist/data engineer at the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (SV) since March 2024.

My main interests are programming with R and Python, NLP, machine learning and and sociology of art and culture.

On this blog, I share milestones of my work as a (social) data scientist and engineer. The blog is also intended to provide an overview of my interests and key areas of expertise. Finally, I use it to share and document minor or major achievements of my personal work in the field of data science/data engineering.
