About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Tracking and Society, Department of Communication, University of Copenhagen. Currently, I am working on a research project that investigates the Internet of Things (IoT) and its role in attaining the goal of a sustainable or green future in Europe. Beyond that, I am interested in individuals' perspectives on opportunities and challenges of the increasingly datafied society (relating to datafication, algorithmization and dataveillance) and the role of social and digital inequalities as well as digital skills therein. My methodological expertise lies in quantitative surveys as well as qualitative interviews and content analyses.
