Research
My research focuses on European public policy with a special emphasis on evidence-based policy and think tanks. My research has been published in journals including Policy Sciences, Journal of Common Market Studies, Scandinavian Political Studies and “Politik” and in monographies and book chapters at Routledge, Edward Elgar and “Djøf Forlag”.
I studied political science at the University of Copenhagen (MA 2008) and worked as a civil servant for Copenhagen City and the Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs (2008-2010). I hold a PhD from Roskilde University (2014).
