My expertise is on global far-right movements; online radicalization, recruitment, and propaganda; and digital policy and regulation.

I was recently a Marie Sklodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Culture Studies at Tilburg University. My EU funded project explored the roles of stakeholders and trust and safety teams in developing and enforcing platforms’ content policies on extremism and terrorism.

I am also affiliated with the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX) at the University of Oslo, the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET) in London, an Associate Fellow at the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) in The Hauge, and the Far Right Analysis Network (FRAN).

I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Oslo, funded by C-REX for the duration of my doctoral studies. During my PhD, I was a VOX-Pol sponsored visiting researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, and a visiting researcher at New York University’s department of Media, Culture, and Communication.

I regularly give talks and advise for policymakers, practitioners, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, military organizations, and tech companies. These have included the U.S. Departments of State and Justice, The White House National Security Council, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security, Council of Europe, UN, and NATO.

I am an expert member of the EU Research Community on Radicalisation for the EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation (previously the Radicalisation Awareness Network). And a member of the Christchurch Call Advisory Network.

I have been featured in international media including Foreign Policy, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, BBC, The New York Times, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Folha de S. Paulo, Le Monde, de Volkskrant, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, among others.
