I am an associate professor (Swedish: docent) at the Department of Economics at Lund University as well as a researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm.
My research is focused on game theory; especially evolutionary game theory, learning, social norms, and bounded rationality.
I have master’s degrees in Economics (Stockholm School of Economics) and Philosophy (Stockholm University). I obtained my PhD in Economics from the Stockholm School of Economics, and then spent two years at University College London, and three years at University of Oxford before coming back to Sweden.
In 2020 I joined the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm, where I will work with my project “The role of internal motivation and external sanctions in supporting prosocial behaviour”.
I am a Wallenberg Academy Fellow. My research is also funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and Handelsbankens forskningsstiftelser.
