I am an associate professor in practical theology, currently employed as a postdoctoral researcher in Bible, culture, and politics as part of the Scripture and Secularism project in which I examine how religious actors' use the Bible in public debate contribute to form—and reform— notions of the secular.

In addition, my researcher's heart beats for two areas. The first is research on Christian preaching and liturgy. I am particularly interested in how they are influenced by digital culture, environments, or tools (such as AI). Digital religion and digital theology are fields to which I frequently contribute.

The second area is church leadership, both from contemporary and historical perspectives. It includes, among other things, the impact of digitalization on religious authority and women's ordination in the mid-20th century.
