Julia is Professor of Science and Technology Studies (STS) in Energy Transitions at the Department of Technology, Management and Economics, in the Section for Science and Technology Studies, at the Technical university of Denmark (DTU). Here she is building up a growing STS research group focused on energy. 

Coming from the tradition of Valuation Studies and Social Studies of Markets in STS, her research has been focused on valuation struggles and controversies in the energy transition, both in a Danish and international perspective. After finishing her PhD (2015) from Copenhagen Business School on valuation struggles over wind power marketisation in China, she worked for several years at DTU’s Department of Wind and Energy Systems, working closely with engineers and other practitioners. With research stays in China, at Stanford University in California, and NTNU in Norway, she has a wide network in academia and the energy sector. 

Apart from the ERC project, Julia is also PI of the excellence project ‘The Expertise of Expectations – the case of power-to-x’ funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (IFD’s Sapere Aude program, 2024-2028), and she is former PI of the Co-Green project funded by IFD (2021-2024)

Emil is a PhD student at DTU Management in the section for Science and Technology Studies. With a B.A. in Techno-Anthropology from Aalborg University and an M.Sc. in Human Ecology from Lund University, Emil aims to combine ethnographic methods with human geographical insights to extensively research the localized context of Bornholm. Previously, Emil worked as a Research Assistant at the DTU Department of Wind and Energy Systems, gaining valuable experience with renewable energy in a Danish context.

Tom is an engineer by training and has worked with renewable energy technology since 2003, having gained his Master’s in Renewable Energy Engineering from Loughborough University in the UK. Having always had an interest in how technology and society interact, he embarked on a more interdisciplinary career in 2015, working actively in finding the synergies between engineering science and social science perspectives. An affinity for the approaches used in Science and Technology studies developed and he now sees great potential and opportunities with the Good-by-Devicing project to both cultivate a very fruitful conversation between the disciplines, but also to translate research findings into issues and debates that will help our society in the challenges that we face, particularly with climate change.

Anders is Professor of Computational Anthropology at DTU Management. He holds a D.Phil. in Geography from the University of Oxford and his research focuses on digital and computational methods for mapping controversies about emerging technological problems in society. He is currently heading the Observatory for Human Centered Engineering (ECHOlab) at DTU, is the co-author of Controversy Mapping: A Field Guide, and has previously co-founded the Public Data Lab, the Techno-Anthropology Lab and MASSHINE, Aalborg University’s center for computational social sciences and humanities.

Daniel is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Technology, Management, and Economics, in the Section for Science and Technology Studies, at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). As a PhD fellow, he studied conflicts over wind energy, leading to the PhD thesis titled ‘Turbulent transitions:  Valuation struggles and compromises in the becoming of wind energy in Denmark’.  His research aims to integrate science and technology studies, valuation studies, and French pragmatic sociology to contribute to research on the social acceptance of renewable energy technologies.
