Sustain­ability and Eco­nom­ics walk­ing hand in hand

My research mostly concerns strategic contracting. Much of my work has been conducted in close collaboration with the late Professor Bent Petersen from the Department of International Economics, Government and Business at CBS. 

I coordinate courses at CBS in a variety of subjects, some being advanced law of obligations, strategic contracting and strategic use of health data.

Aside from supervising both Masters and Ph.D. theses and teaching, I am also a part of the Nordic Research Lab for Climate Law and Economics at CBS Law.
