Presentation

I am an organizational researcher focusing on the development of sustainability in the building sector. My current project is an industrial postdoctoral fellowship with VELUX, CBS, and BLOXHUB on the topic of "Smart Buildings and Cities Business Model Innovation." It is supported by Innovationsfonden and Realdania. This project will involve applied research into the innovation process for building organizations to adapt their business models to the increasing digitization and automation of buildings. It will be enacted as part of the Science Forum at BLOXHUB, the building innovation centre, and the Governing Responsible Business Research Environment at CBS. My background is highly interdiscplinary, including such areas as international policy, ecological economics, environmental science, green engineering, and ecosystem biology, and I find these subjects to greatly enrich sustainability and organizational research.
