Primary research areas

Public sector organisations

I research how public sector organisations develop capabilities to meet policy goals, what constrains or enables this, and how it is conditioned by the political economic environment.

States and finance

I study how states govern through financial markets, and how transformations in finance influence state capacity (and vice versa).

Decarbonization and geoeconomic risk

Empirically, my research tends to focus on decarbonization, climate and energy policy, and geoeconomic risk as emerging and shifting governance objects.

States and public sector organisations in the global economy

I am a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Copenhagen Business School. 

My current research is part of the Financial Transparency package of the Velux and Villum Foundation-funded project, ‘Algorithms, Data and Democracy’. 

Alongside my academic work, I regularly contribute to public debate, and have written for and appeared in media outlets including The Guardian, NPR and BBC Radio 4. With my PhD supervisor, Mariana Mazzucato, I am co-author of the book 'The Big Con'. 

Outside of research, I love teaching and supervising students on all the above. If you are a CBS student, you are welcome to book time to meet during my office hour on Mondays from 16.00-17.00 in Kilen 3.45.
