Primary research areas

Di­git­al Health
Health­care af­fects us all. My re­search ex­plores how di­git­al tools and data shar­ing can sup­port bet­ter health­care, es­pe­cially in coun­tries and health sys­tems that need it the most. I fo­cus on how mo­bile health, hos­pit­al data ex­change, and in­ter­na­tion­al col­lab­or­a­tions can make health­care more ac­cess­ible, ef­fect­ive, and equit­able.
Data
Data is a power­ful re­source for shap­ing so­ci­et­ies. My re­search ex­plores how data prac­tices and gov­ernance in­flu­ence know­ledge pro­duc­tion and its col­lect­ive use. Health data is a key case where is­sues of gov­ernance, in­fra­struc­ture, and trust be­come es­pe­cially vis­ible.
Com­munity Or­gan­iz­ing
I study how people col­lab­or­ate in com­munit­ies, ex­plor­ing how groups or­gan­ize around shared chal­lenges—from med­ic­al re­sponses to COV­ID-19 to in­ter­na­tion­al data net­works. I also ex­am­ine emer­ging col­lect­ive con­tent cre­ation, where block­chain-based de­cent­ral­ized gov­ernance en­ables new forms of col­lab­or­a­tion.

I ex­plore how col­lab­or­a­tion and di­git­al­iz­a­tion can shape our fu­ture

I study digital health, data sharing, and community organizing, focusing on how technology and governance can have societal impact. 

I have spent time in African countries, where I saw firsthand how mobile health tools can support access to care, and I now investigate the Europe-wide data economy, especially around clinical and genomic data sharing. These experiences shape my ambition to ensure that digitalization contributes to equity and inclusion. 
 

Through my work, I help: 

Healthcare systems share data responsibly across hospitals and borders 

Communities  around digital resources such as data to build trust and organize collective action 

Societies harness digitalization to achieve fairer and more sustainable futures 

At the core of my work is a belief that collaboration, whether in hospitals, international research networks, or digital platforms, is key to solving global and societal challenges no single actor can face alone.
