I am an assistant professor in the Digital Culture and Mobile Communication research group at the IT University of Copenhagen in Denmark. I have broad interests ranging from considering issues of privacy and identity to investigating the role of technology in disaster. Specifically, my research focuses on how people use such technologies to cope with adverse circumstances, to maintain their social relationships and to navigate and interact in urban spaces.
