Thank you for your interest in my work! I am Professor of Human Rights and Social Sciences at University of Oslo's Faculty of Law where I lead the project "PROBONO - Private Law Firms as Transnational Advocates," funded by an ERC Starting Grant (2025-2029). At the Faculty of Law, I am co-leading the research group Global Challenges to Human Rights. I hold research affiliations with the Graduate Institute Geneva's Global Governance Centre and the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

I received the Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS) book award 2022 and the German United Nations Association (DGVN) best dissertation award 2019. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as International Studies Review, Human Rights Quarterly, Global Constitutionalism, Leiden Journal of International Law, Review of International Studies, Global Governance, and Ethics & International Affairs. My first monograph Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions for Human Rights is published with Cambridge University Press. I am dedicated to producing policy-relevant research, and disseminating my findings to the public. 

Prior to coming to Oslo, I was part of the interdisciplinary research group “International Rule of Law: Rise or Decline?” in Berlin and Potsdam. I earned my PhD in Political Science from the University of Potsdam, where I also worked as a researcher and lecturer in International Relations. Research and teaching stays brought me to Madrid, San Diego, Geneva and Stockholm.
