Welcome! I’m an economist studying how firms and workers adjust to major economic forces such as globalisation and technological change, and how these adjustments shape labour markets and inequality.
Since joining Aarhus University as an Assistant Professor in September 2019, I've been part of the Research Centre for Firms and Industry Dynamics (FIND) and more recently the Centre for Economic and Firm Research (CEFAU) at Aarhus University. I am also an Associate Researcher at the Ratio Institute, Stockholm, as well as a part of the AI-Econ Lab and a Fellow at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.
In the 2025/2026 academic year, I am a part-time lecturer at Aarhus University and visiting Stockholm for collaborative research on the labour-market and distributional effects of artificial intelligence and trade.
I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Edinburgh in 2019.
