Postdoc, Assistant Professor

Current research

My interests revolve around health related topics that focus on cultural meaning and organizational structures. As a postdoctoral researcher I am working on a project funded by the Research Council of Norway titled ‘Towards better computational approaches and responsible innovation strategies in early drug discovery: application to antibiotics and COPD’ (RESPOND3). I work on responsible research and innovation in early digital drug discovery (PI: Associate Professor Helen Yu), which is a natural extension of my research into inclusive engagement of stakeholders in the research process. 

Teaching

I supervise projects on issues relating to qualitative analysis, medical science and technology studies and health politics.
