I decode the future of work through data and innovation
My research transforms how we understand modern work by combining AI technology with economic analysis to create healthier, more equitable workplaces. Using Large Language Models and Danish administrative data, I investigate how remote work policies benefit entire families, identify workplace factors that harm employee mental health, and reveal how innovation affects different income groups unequally. This work provides evidence-based guidance for policymakers creating better work regulations, organizations implementing flexible policies, and HR leaders building psychologically safer environments.
