Department of Management, Society and Communication
I have a background in the fields of film, philosophy, and cognitive science. I wrote my Ph.D. thesis on cognitive film theory (University of Kent, UK, completed 2005) and have worked as a postdoc in experimental cognitive psychology at the University of Copenhagen (2006-2009), Copenhagen Business School (2009-2013), and Lund University, Sweden (2012-2013). My research interests include visual communication and film, visual attention and eye movements, theories and models of emotion, and cultural influences on cognitive processes. I am the director of CogLab, a facility for conducting experimental research based at MSC. I currently teach and coordinate two elective courses on the subject of visual communication, and one core course on the subject of intercultural communication and management.
- visual communication and film
- experimental cognitive psychology
- visual attention and eye movements
- theories and models of emotion
- cultural influences on cognitive processes
I teach and coordinate the following two elective courses in the Autumn semester:
- BA-IMK elective course “Visual Communication” (BIMKV1008U)
- MA-IBC elective course “Visual Communication” (CIBCV1503U): co-taught with Chris Zimmerman (MSC, Google); develops the content of the BA-IMK version of the course and includes a new module on data visualization
I teach and coordinate the following core course in the Spring semester:
- HA European Business core course “Intercultural Communication and Management” (BEBUO1006U)
I also give guest lectures on the following courses:
- BA-IMK elective course “Multimodal Communication” (BIMKO1020U)
- MA-IBC core course “Project in International Business Communication” (CICOO1009U)
- MSc core course “Experimental Methods” (CPSYO1802U) [Business Economics and Psychology]
I supervise Bachelor and Master thesis projects on a number of programmes at CBS. I have also supervised Master thesis projects on the MA “IT and Cognition” programme, University of Copenhagen, and the MSc “Neuroscience and Neuroimaging” programme, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. I am interested in supervising Bachelor and Master thesis projects on the subjects of visual communication, intercultural communication, and cognitive psychology – potential candidates are welcome to contact me.
I have worked as an external lecturer at the University of Copenhagen: I have given guest lectures on the subject of cognition and emotion on the BA “Cognitive Psychology” programme, and have taught courses on both cognitive psychology and experimental methods on the MA “IT and Cognition” programme. I have also made several trips to China as part of the Sino-Danish Center (SDC) collaboration and have taught classes on cognitive science on the MSC “Neuroscience and Neuroimaging” programme, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.
