Biography

I am a PhD Student at Strategic Organization Design (SOD) + Digital Democracy Centre (DDC) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), focusing on computational social science. In my research, I investigate the impact of AI and platforms on information ecosystems, news media, and decision-making.

In my PhD project, supervised by Professor Oliver Baumann, I focus on how platforms and generative AI impact collaboration dynamics and news product diversity in the Danish news industry, drawing on natural language processing, network analysis and econometrics.
