My research interests fall within the sociology science, including issues of social stratification and gender diversity in science. I am currently leading two research projects on social stratification in science funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and the Carlsberg Foundation. My research has been published in leading interdisciplinary and social science journals such as Science, Nature Human Behaviour, PNAS, Nature Communications and Research Policy, and featured in international news outlets such as the New Yorker, Science Magazine, the Guardian, El Pais, Forbes, Scientific American, Nature Careers, and World Economic Forum.

I teach courses in 'Knowledge, Organisation and Politics' (BA-level) and 'Advanced Knowledge, Organisation and Politics' (MA-level).
