WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL WEBSITE

 

I am a PhD graduate from the University of Copenhagen’s TALENT Doctoral Fellowship Programme, which is co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. My research focuses on the wildlife trade, consumer behaviour, non-market economic valuation, behavioural economics, and social marketing. Currently, I am working as a researcher at the University of Iceland and an expert of the Global Initiative Network of Experts.

My research on the trade and consumption of endangered wildlife products has won the SCIENCE PhD Award of the year at the University of Copenhagen, and results have been featured in the award-wining TV documentary “Rhino Dollars” (ARTE France), the podcast series “Kevin Pietersen: Beast of Man” (BBC Radio 5), the new documentary “The Great Rhino Robbery” (BBC Studios Documentary and Sky Studios), and various interviews with Al Jazeera, BBC Natural History, BBC Wildlife Magazine, and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR).
