About

Diversity and inclusion have been the driving forces of both my professional and personal path. I have been doing research and teaching courses on various aspects of gender throughout my academic career, utilizing the findings in numerous projects with the goal of creating interventions. In my current work, I aim to build bridges between social sciences and computer science, mainly through integrating the concept of non-binary gender and intersectionality into CS.

In 2025 I was nominated for the DigIT Woman of the Year in Tech Award and the Nordic Women in Tech Award as the "DEIB Champion of the year".

Outreach

EUGAIN Young Researchers

EUGAIN’s Young Researchers cohort brings together the new generation of early career academics in CS to collaborate, network, and thrive through peer support. As the Leader of this group, I coordinate joint projects to increase gender diversity in CS.

Role models in CS campaign

In this social media campaign, we made short interviews with role models in CS, creating a social media library, in order to reach out to younger generations and promote CS as a field.
