I am a Danish historian specialising in the history of surveillance, intelligence services, and war. My research examines how surveillance and intelligence operate in practice and how these activities are shaped by technological, political, and institutional contexts. My work also includes studies of military carrier pigeons and their role in the communication and intelligence history of warfare.

My research also engages with the history of technology, particularly how new technologies create new possibilities while generating new concerns and new forms of control. I am interested in the interaction between old and new technologies and how older systems are maintained, adapted, or displaced as technological landscapes change.

I received my PhD in History from the University of Copenhagen in 2021 with the dissertation The Threat to Democracy: Telecommunication Surveillance in Denmark, 1916–1945.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher on Professor Karen Gram-Skjoldager’s project Denmark in Exile: Practices of Displaced Politics. My research examines Danish intelligence officers who fled to neutral Sweden during the German occupation of Denmark. In 2026, I will begin the project Securing Europe through Surveillance: Allied Governance and Control of Communications in Liberated Europe, 1945–1948, funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.
