I am currently researching what motivates lone-actor terrorists as part of my DPhil at DPIR.

Prior to studying at Oxford, I completed a BA (Hons) in Peace Studies and International Relations at Lancaster University, UK, a MA in Political Sciences specialised in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Oslo, Norway, and an MLitt in Global Social and Political Thought at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. I have research experience from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Moonshot CVE, working on counter-radicalism projects.

Research

My research focuses include the following:

  • Right-wing extremism, white supremacism, lone-actor terrorists;
  • Radicalisation, motivation, and incentives;
  • Profiling of individual terrorists;
  • Political and psychological influences for radicalisation and terrorism;
  • Extremism in the Nordic region
     

Languages

I am fluent in Norwegian and English. Also competent in Danish and Swedish, and intermediate in Spanish.

Awards

My work has been recognised with the following awards:

  • Highly commendable research recognition for contributions to the Canada Re-Direct project for Moonshot CVE, awarded by the Richardson Institute.
