Annika Aebli is Senior Researcher and Lecturer in Sociology at the Zug Institute for Blockchain Research (ZIBR), University of Lucerne. Her research examines how emerging forms of techno-finance are reshaping understandings of money and markets, and how they reconfigure social relations and social order, with particular attention to the new forms of value, participation, and knowledge produced around them.

She completed her PhD in Economics and Social Sciences at Leuphana University Lueneburg, Germany. Before joining ZIBR, she was a visiting scholar at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, worked as a postdoctoral researcher at KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, and as a research affiliate at the University of Lausanne.
