Research
In my research, I investigate various social mechanisms that operate in
social systems. In my dissertation, I pay special attention to how
social interactions influence religious behavior and the dynamics of
religious organizations.
The other projects I’m involved in
include investigating (1) the causes and consequences of xenophobic
attitudes and (2) the role of social interactions in parents’
name-giving choices and how they influence the popularity dynamics of
names. My work makes use of statistical and computational techniques,
such as text analysis, agent-based modeling, and machine learning to
analyze large-scale datasets, including Swedish register data, newspaper
data, and digital trace data.
Register data management
I maintain the micro-level Swedish population register data that IAS researchers have access to.
Academic background
Prior to starting my PhD at IAS, I received a bachelor's degree in sociology from Stockholm University and a master's degree in computational social science from Linköping University.
