Personal profile

Research

I currently serve as Program Director of WASP-HS, a national research program funded by The Wallenbergs Foundations that fosters novel interdisciplinary knowledge in the humanities and social sciences about AI and autonomous systems and their impact on human and social development.

As a sociologist, my ambition is to pursue theoretically informed empirical analyses of contemporary social issues. I have relied heavily on survey-based data collection and quantitative methods, primarily applied to the study of social networks. My research interests span from theoretical and methodological debates to analyses of network constraints and opportunities of organisations, firms, and individuals.
