Expertise
I am a social researcher with an background in social and behavioral sciences, policy development, social work, and music therapy.
In my work I combine teaching in the BSc Data Science and Society with inter- and transdisciplinary collaborative research approaches in developing research designs targeting complex societal challenges.
My methodological expertise include experimental and simulation methods, complemented with mixed-methods and participatory action research approaches.
My core research focus is understanding what fosters sustainable collective social interaction and social innovation—both in small groups and at the societal level.
