I am currently a visiting professor at Rutgers University, and a professor at The IT University of Copenhagen. I have been at ITU since 2016; before that I was a visiting professor at Cornell Tech for two years. I was an Associate Professor at Stockholm University from 2012-2015 and a research scientist at UC San Diego from 2007 to 2011.
My research focuses on experiences of privacy in the context of location-based socio-technical systems. I use qualitative and mixed methods to study human interaction and practices around mobile technologies, in particular location-based technologies, in order to provide better knowledge of how to design privacy sensitive social technologies and IoT.
