I am an assistant professor in the Design, Culture, Mobility & Communication (DCMC) research group at the IT University of Copenhagen in Denmark. As a scholar at the intersection of Communication Studies and Human Computer Interaction, my research examines how people adapt and integrate an increasingly broad array of information and communication technologies into their daily lives, with a special focus on technology adoption and use under conditions of strain. My studies of how people use technologies to maintain personal relationships and to cope with adverse circumstances expose how technology use is deeply shaped by local social and political contexts.
