Antonia Meythaler received her Bachelor degree in Business Administration from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU Munich). After her Bachelor's degree, she enrolled in the Master of Business Research (MBR) program and worked as Doctoral Researcher at the Institute of Information Systems and New Media at LMU Munich. In the course of her PhD, she investigated the value of social referrals via information and communication technologies for companies. As part of her PhD thesis, Antonia analyzed the influence of different online channels on user’s website behavior. Other research projects she actively engaged in are dedicated to uncovering user’s smartphone behavior and trust building. She received her Master’s degree in 2016 and her PhD in 2017 from the LMU Munich. During her PhD she was invited by the UC Berkeley School of Information for a research stay. From 2018 to 2022, Antonia served as head of the research group “Digital Integration” at the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society in Berlin.

Currently, she is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Potsdam (Chair of Business Informatics, esp. Social Media and Society) and co-leading the research group "Well-being in a digital world" at the Weizenbaum-Insitut in Berlin. Her research explores the usage of social networking sites and the digital transformation’s impact on organizations and society. Her work has been published in journals, including the European Journal of Information Systems, Business & Information Systems Engineering Journal, and Electronic Markets, and she has presented at various leading Information Systems conferences.
