Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Social Sciences where I am a Work Package Leader in the JUST-IN-CLIME (HORIZON.2.5-"Climate, Energy and Mobility"-financed project) and a project manager in Digi4age (MSCA-financed project). I am also an affiliated researcher at the Department of International Economics, Government and Business at Copenhagen Business School.

My research lies in citizens’ political responses to structural transformations in advanced economies. In particular, I focus on technological change and the green transition. I am especially interested in the role of fairness in citizens’ responses to economic and social outcomes from these transformations, and the extent to which social and labour market policies can influence these responses.
