Sally Boyani Mokaya has taken a leap into the unknown: she has travelled from Nairobi, Kenya, to Passau, Germany, to write her doctoral thesis at the University of Passau. Mokaya is part of the Research Training Group “Digital Platform Ecosystems” (DPE), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), a truly interdisciplinary and international group of young researchers. Her supervisors are Prof. Hannah Schmid-Petri, who specializes in analyzing policy discourses, and Prof. Jan Krämer, who focuses on market design in the platform economy and is well connected with stakeholders in Brussels.

In this interview, Mokaya shares insights into her research topics and initial findings, as well as what it is like to be part of such a diverse research group.
