SUMMARY
My current projects focus on the development and use of artificial intelligence in the contexts
of biotechnology and agriculture. I use ethnographic methods and take a practice-theoretical
approach to explore how technologies shape knowledge work and organizing (and vice versa),
giving particular attention to the materiality of work.
