Research
- Transnational law and EU civil aviation regulation
- Safety norms and risk management
- The criminalisation of professional errors
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Sociology of Law, a Bachelor of Science in Gender Studies, and a Master of Science in Global Studies (Major in Sociology of Law). I have studied at Lund University and Malmö University in Sweden. I have also studied at the Oñati International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL) in the Basque Country, Spain. I defended my PhD thesis in August 2023. The external reviewer was Professor Susan S. Silbey, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Before my academic studies, I had an international professional background in aviation maintenance.
My research focuses on the field of European Union (EU) civil aviation and the profession and professionalism of licensed aircraft maintenance engineers in Europe. In particular, my PhD project explored, from a socio-legal perspective, the complexity and interplay between legal norms and legal forms, civil aviation organisational structures and professional norms concerning the broader notions of risk, safety and legal accountability.
