With a background in Anthropology (PhD, Aarhus University 2010), my focus as Principal Investigator of the DecouplingIT project relates to exploring the conceptual issues of what decoupling ‘means’ socially and culturally in a variety of different contexts. I also aim to visit at least some of the field sites where project members are carrying out fieldwork in order to connect the conceptual to the empirical realities. The research is part of my ongoing interest in the social and cultural roles played by technologies in relation to the climate crisis.

I have a bachelor’s in Social Sciences at the State University of São Paulo, in Brazil, and a PhD (2018) in Social Anthropology at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. I have conducted fieldwork in the Parliament of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby and my research focused on the state, bureaucracy, and Christianity. Since then, I have undertaken a new ethnographic project in Brazil on the sociocultural dimensions of new technologies in efforts to develop the Amazon region. 

I am a PhD fellow at the Department of Business IT (IT University of Copenhagen), and affiliate researcher at the Center for Development and Environment (University of Oslo). I engage in research related to governance, sustainable/green finance and investment, digitalization, and global south development studies. I have extensive experience in collaborating with public and private actors on issues relating to green transition and sustainability. My PhD work explores sustainability and green digital transition via ESG data, where i engage in collaboration with local business communities and civil society groups.
