Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Estonia, Ireland, Norway, and Turkey, his
current research has mainly assessed the socio-technical shaping of internet technologies. His research in Norway explored the expertise practices required to develop business intelligence software for the global oil and gas industry. In addition, he examined how digital media practices reshaped the life-worlds of members of the Moroccan diaspora in Istanbul.
Assessing the development of AR technologies for tourists, the investigation in Estonia
contributes to developing a mixed-method approach combining digital ethnography with
computational methods.
