Primary Research Area
My research focuses on people's practices with material culture, particularly the way cultural ideals shape the transition from one type of technology to another. I have a particular interest in architecture, home culture, light and atmosphere.
My PhD from University College London, UCL, focused on the Bedouin in Jordan, while further studies have been a comparative study of uses of light in Jordan and Denmark
Current research
My current research concerns the experience and design of lighting in urban spaces, as director of the Velux project Living with Nordic Lighting
I am also co-directing Urban Tech Lab where we use eye-tracking, Galvanic Skin Response and other technologies to investigate urban spaces in combination with qualitative methods.
Previous research concentrated on the transition from incandescent light to energy saving light bulbs in Denmark and Jordan. Particularly focusing on its reception and use in orchestrating spaces of hospitality and cosyness. The research addresses concepts such as atmosphere, materiality, technology and ethics.
Previously I have also focused on cultural heritage among the Bedouin in Jordan
