I am a researcher in Science and Technology Studies working at the Center for Technology and Society. In my research I am interested in exploring questions related to the governance of emerging fields of science and technology, like bio- and nanotechnology. Within this broader topic I have worked a lot on issues related to the governance of innovation and social responsibility.
I am currently part of a project called Res Publica, which is funded through the new Norwegian biotechnology research center Digital Life Norway. Within the Res Publica project my research is mainly aimed towards studying innovation practices related to the development of new antibiotics.
My background:
Ph.D in Science and Technology Studies (STS)
My research interests:
- Science governance
- Responsible research and innovation
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antibiotics R&D
- Innovation
- Biotechnology
- Nanotechnology
