Her research interests include New Media Theory, Science and Technology Studies and topics in Digital Culture and Art. Her Ph.D. thesis (New media theory as ontology of the computer code) was examining different attempts to define new media theory and concentrating on issues of performativity and computer codes. Her MA thesis (The development of contemporary philosophy in the 20th century: paradigms of language, text, hypertext and multimedia) was an attempt to position new media theory in relation to continental philosophy. Before joining NUS, Denisa Kera worked as a research associate at the Center for Global studies, Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Prague, where she was studying the posthuman aspects of society and globalisation in the context of technological acceleration and evolution theories. She also held positions in the New Media Studies programme which she helped establish at Charles University, in the PhD. programme of the Faculty of Architecture, Technical University in Prague, and in several digital art related programmes.
