As a curious and interdisciplinary researcher, I engage with multiple disciplines and fields in parallel. Here you will find an overview of the research projects I am currently involved in, reflecting my interest in bridging perspectives and contributing to knowledge across traditional academic boundaries.
AIFutures
In my AI research I explore how artificial intelligence interacts with human norms, values, and social behaviour. By combining insights from the social sciences with emerging AI developments, the work aims to shed light on how these technologies may influence society, not just technically, but socially and culturally, in the years to come.

Global Social Norms (GSN)
At Global Social Norms, my colleagues and I study how social norms vary across societies and how they change over time. Using large-scale global data, we examine what people consider appropriate behaviour and how norm violations are perceived, with the goal of better understanding culture, cooperation, and social change across the world.

The Predictive Capacity of the Social Sciences (SamPred)
In SamPred, I lead a workshop series together with Prof. Kimmo Eriksson and Prof. Christofer Edling to improve how the social sciences think about and evaluate predictions. By bringing together researchers from different disciplines, the project explores how we can make more systematic, transparent, and useful forecasts about social outcomes—while being clear about their limits.
