Katharina splits her time between the Human Rights Nudge project at the University of Copenhagen, where she develops agent-based models of compliance with human rights judgements, and the Institute of Law and Economics at the University of Hamburg, where she pursues her PhD. Her research focuses on social movements, dissent, the relationship between civil society and international law, and establishing agent-based modeling as a method for legal research.
