Biography

I work as a doctoral researcher at the Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care at the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy. I am working as a part of the DigiIn-project (Towards Socially Inclusive Digital Society: Transforming Service Culture) funded by the Strategic Research Council.


My research explores the design of digital public services for and in collaboration with older adults. I am fascinated by how to design digital services that seamlessly integrate with the lives of older adults, empowering them to participate actively in the digital society. I aspire to contribute to bridging digital divides and enhancing access and digital inclusion among older adults.
