  • Bio

    I am a migration scholar (Ph.D., University of Edinburgh) focusing on social cohesion. Substantively, my expertise spans the contact hypothesis, ethnic diversity, economic inequality, and crime, whilst methodologically I employ advanced statistical methods and computational tools.

    Previously I have held different research positions across Europe and obtained a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship at the University of Amsterdam (co-funded by the European Commission) titled Trust Radius.

    For more info om my research agenda, please see my website.
