Presentation

I’m a political scientist with a PhD-project in Human-Computer interaction from KTH, and currently work as the Public Affairs Manager at IAB Sverige. Previously, I’ve worked as a researcher at RISE - Research Institutes of Sweden, and research- and communications assistant at the think tank Fores. I have been working with ICT related issues, especially privacy and tech ethics, and research for over 10 years.

My research covers transparency, privacy and ethics issues in AI and other digital systems, as well as societal impact of/on digitalization in general. My masters in Political Science focused on policy making processes.

The combination of my background in political science, working at a technological research institute, work with questions involving plenty of psychology, law and other fields, has given me a broad analytical framework for questions that are rarely solved using just one of these perspectives.

I'm also former vice chairman of both EDS (European Democrat Students) and FMSF Sweden. I've worked at Försvarsutbildarna as an instructor in basic CBRN-protection. I attended Stureakademin, a year long education in politics, public affairs and writing hosted by Timbro, in 2010 and received a scholarship for my work there.
