I am interested in the role that visions play in infrastructural change, and how digitalization re-shapes the roles of consumers, companies, and government. My research uses a combination of social science perspectives inspired by science and technology studies (STS), sustainability transitions and digital sociology.
My current research focuses on new business models in electricity markets, where companies claim to de-couple their profits from the electricity consumption of their consumers. I am interested in how companies combine digital technologies with new business models. This research investigates company advertising, the function of smartphone apps in electricity contracts, and the technological and organizational development of new business models.
I have previously studied digitalization in the context of urban innovation and urban environmental governance.
My teaching often covers the topics of digitalization, cities and environmental sustainability, but also includes the philosophy of science and scientific methods.
