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.
