I am Associate Professor in Educational Anthropology, Technology and Organisations at the Danish School of Education (DPU), Aarhus University. Before joining DPU, I was Assistant and Associate Professor at Aalborg University in the Department of Learning and Philosophy (2013-2019). I hold a PhD and MSc in Anthropology from the University of Copenhagen.

My main research interests are in science and technology, organisations and welfare societal institutions, economic anthropology, culture and learning processes, and urban studies. I have conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Denmark, Russia and Germany. In my current research projects I explore technological communities and questions of sociality, democracy, ethics and societal interests in relation to emergent technologies such as robots, drones, smart energy technologies and telecommunication devices.
