I am a social anthropologist for digital, museum & visual anthropology, material culture, and energy & environmental anthropology at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Regional Studies, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. I have been working at Leipzig ethnographic museum on colonial photographs and objects form India, and am currently researching the digitization of museums and archives in both India and Europe. Within the coalrush.net and the decarbenergy.net projects at University of Technology Sydney I have been conducting research on energy, mining, and climate change.
