I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at both the Insittute for Futures Studies and the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University.  I am driven by a deep curiosity to understand dynamics At the Institute for Futures Studies, I explore and develop testable explanations concerning the strength of norms under different levels of risk (e.g. climate change, pandemic). My work is highly collaborative and uses modelling also as a ’tool' for a research process in which different researchers, methods, and/or data are combined. 

Advances in Life Course Research, Volume 38, P. 22-36. doi.org/10.1016/j.alcr.2018.10.003. Abstract This study examines how married couples’ age differencesand gender dynamics influence retirement coordi outcomes of all marital couples in Sweden. Using , we find that the likelihood of couples retiring close in time decreases as their age difference increases but that age differences have a similar effect on retirement coordination for couples with larger age differences. Additionally, retirement coordination is largely gender-neutral in opposite-sex couples with age differences regardless of whether the male spouse is older. Additionally, male same-sex couples retire closer in time than both opposite-sex couples and female same-sex couples. The definition of retirement coordination as the number of years between retirements contributes to the literature on couples’ retirement behavior and allows us to study the degree of retirement coordination among all couples, including those with larger age differences.
