Jag docent i sociologi och lektor i kriminologi vid Institutionen för polisvetenskaper samt forskare vid Institutet för framtidsstudier och vid Stockholms universitet. Jag har en bakgrund i teknisk fysik och är intresserad av modellering av sociala fenomen med storskaliga dataset och icke-traditionella kvantitativa metoder. Min forskning handlar främst om kriminell organisering och nätverksrelaterade aspekter av kriminellt samarbete, med särskilt fokus på organiserad brottslighet och den kriminella ekonomin.
