I have started my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen in 2020 (finish date January 2024). Going “back to school” after many years working has been an intense but rewarding journey - you can read more about my work so far in the Publications section!

I use ethnographic methods to explore barriers to gender equity and accessibility - with a special focus on neurodiversity - in computer science higher education organizations. I look at digital and physical spaces, formal and informal, and organizational practices and artefacts to investigate socio-technical challenges and opportunities. As part of my PhD I collaborated on multiple interventions, and co-created some open access, norm-critical artefacts, such as DOREEN and the BATL tool.

My PhD project is supervised by Professor Pernille Bjørn as part of the FEMTECH project and it is situated at the Human Centered Computing section.
