I build and study AI systems that sit inside human decisions. My professional focus has run both sides of it.
On the industry side, I have spent four years as an AI product manager at Volvo Cars, shipping GenAI decision support for commercial partners and technical analysts, then working on trust and evaluation in generative AI, how you know a model’s answer is good enough to act on.
On the research side, I study human-AI interaction and professional learning. From August 2026 I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg, in GRAITE, asking how teacher educators keep judgment and agency when they co-create with generative AI.
