Primary research areas
System Innovation
Studying the transformation of societies into sustainable systems through policy. System Innovation requires addressing wicked problems, across sectors and disciplines
Science-Policy
The study of science-policy systems and how to enable evidence-informed policymaking.
Transformative Mission-Oriented Innovation Policies (MOIP)
Studies the use of specific policies that aim to transform current systems in normatively desirable directions.
I connect evidence and policy to enable system transformation
Making net-zero transitions accountable
At Copenhagen Business School, I conduct the Marie Skłodowska-Curie-funded TRANSACT project, exploring how cities can move beyond measuring climate targets towards accountability that strengthens transparency, coordination, legitimacy and learning.
My research focuses on:
- Urban climate governance: How cities steer, evaluate and adapt their sustainability transitions.
- Transformative innovation policy: How policy experiments can create public value.
- Policy learning and scaling: How cities learn and turn promising experiments into systemic change.
Bridging research and practice
Alongside my research at CBS, I work as a scientist at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), connecting research and policymaking through European projects, policy labs and science-policy dialogues to support transformative change.
Outside activities
Scientist at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, 2024–present
At AIT’s Center for Innovation Systems & Policy, I research transformative innovation policy and help cities and governments turn climate goals into real action.
