Jeg er koordinator for BA-projekter og vejleder eksperimentelle og kvantitative BA-projekter i offentlig forvaltning, offentlig politik og dele af politisk adfærd.

Træffetid: tirsdage kl. 12.00-13.00 

Min forskning og undervisning fokuserer på den offentlige forvaltning og trækker på psykologiske teorier og eksperimentelle metoder. 

I 2019 til 2023 arbejder jeg med forskningsprojektet: "The Behavioral Citizen", der er støttet af Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond under Sapere Aude-programmet.

BEPAL er adfærdsforskning og evidens til gavn for borgerne og demokratiet. Min forskning er udgivet i tidsskrifter som American Journal of Political Science, American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, Journal of Politics, Nature: Human Behavior, Public Administration Review, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Judgment and Decision Making and more.
