Publications
I maintain a full list of my publications through ORCID. You can also find the same information at Google Scholar, though I put less effort into maitaining my profile there. Those links can be found in the sidebar at the top of the page. My CV contains the same information, if you prefer the comfort of a PDF (Download CV).
But since you came all this way, here are some recent papers of mine that I think are pretty neat.
Selected Research

Software
If you are looking for my R package, biblio.migration, you can find the GitHub repository here. The package implements a new method for identifying mobility from the affiliation data on authors' papers over time. It was designed with scientific papers and patents in mind, but ought to work for any data with the same structure. You can see my paper "Reconstructing bibliometric methods for studying mobility" for more information on the method.
About Me
Assistant Professor University of Copenhagen, Department of Sociology
Most days you can either find me grinding away on a new idea of my own, or wandering around Copenhagen in search of a good nook where I can read and listen to music.
Just for fun, a shoutout to my fellow social scientist Andrew Herman, who also does some cool work on eerily similar topics (see for instance, their fun piece on BlackBerry Capitalism). I am entirely serious when I say this is not me. But it's first come, first served, when it comes to names in academia. So you'll find my papers with the extra 'C.' in the middle.
