I have been professionally involved in the legal field for nearly a decade, serving as a practitioner, in-house advisor, and academic researcher. My research interest particularly lies in the regulatory challenges emanating from the use of emerging technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), and unmanned systems. As a senior researcher at PRIO, I'm working for the EU funded project 'TRANSCEND' where I'm researching the challenges for civil society engagement when it comes to border management technologies. Additionally, I'm engaged in an internal project to analyze AI related frameworks in Kenya, Brazil, and South Korea. In 2022 and 2025, I also co-facilitated the 'Peace Research' summer course in collaboration with the University of Oslo.

Between 2021-2024, I conducted doctoral research as a part of the 'RegulAIR' project funded by the Research Council of Norway. My PhD, 'Safe integration of civil drones: Law, self-operation and infrastructure', discussed regulatory issues in relation to the safety of autonomous civilian drones for the EU where I combined law with engineering and STS (Science and Technology Studies) insights. It was supervised by Bruno O. Martins and Kristin B. Sandvik.
