I’m the Director of Research and Outreach at the Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH). In this capacity, I lead CSOH’s research projects and coalition building efforts to combat hate, extremism, and digital harms. I’m an expert on online radicalization, extremism, threats to democracy, and platform governance and regulation.

I am affiliated with the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX) at the University of Oslo (where I received my PhD), a contributor to the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET) in London, an Associate Fellow at the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) in The Hague, and a co-founder of the Far Right Analysis Network (FRAN).

I regularly give talks and advise for policymakers, practitioners, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, military organizations, and tech companies. These have included the U.S. Departments of State and Justice, The White House National Security Council, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Council of Europe, UN, and NATO, among others.

I am an expert member of the EU Research Community on Radicalisation for the EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation (previously the Radicalisation Awareness Network). And a member of the Advisory Network for the Christchurch Call Foundation.

I have been featured in international media including NPR, Foreign Policy, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Deutsche Welle, The New York Times, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Folha de S. Paulo, Le Monde, de Volkskrant, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and more.
