I am a PhD- Candidate in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, Centre for Technology and Society. I hold a Master’s degree in Culture, Environment and Sustainability from Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM), University of Oslo. Where my Master’s project focused on private car restrictions in Guangzhou, China.
The current PhD-project focus on decarbonisation of urban transport in China. Specifically, the role of private companies providing ride hailing and bike-sharing services, and their role in in sustainable transitions. The project looks at how these private companies are being regulated and cooperate with local governments. My research is also focused on how mobile applications are integrated into everyday travel practices and choices.
