Forskning

I work at the interdisciplinary nexus of communication, organization and artificial intelligence. Within this context, my research focuses on strategic management as a communicative activity, thoroughly entangled with technology.

I am project manager and principal investigator of the Velux-funded research project Strategizing Communication and Artificial Intelligence.

I am co-project manager of the Velux- and Villum-funded 10-year research project Algorithms, Data and Democracy.

I co-chair the research group Artificial Intelligence and Datafied Communication (AIDa).

I hold a PhD from Copenhagen Business School and an MA from the University of Copenhagen. The first was awarded based on a thesis titled “This page is not intended for a US audience: A five-act spectacle on online communication, collaboration and organization”. The PhD assessment committee consisted of Professor Martin Kornberger (Chair), Professor Edith G. Smit and Professor Mark Deuze, and my supervisors were Professor Sine Nørholm Just and Associate Professor Anne Reff Pedersen.

I have had the pleasure of being visiting scholar at USC Annenberg (hosted by Professor Margaret McLaughlin), Center on Organizational Innovation at Columbia University (hosted by Professor David Stark) and ASCoR at Amsterdam University (hosted by Professor Claes H. de Vreese).
