Niels Christian Mossfeldt Nickelsen is a trained and authorized clinical psychologist from Copenhagen University. He has a PhD in organisational studies from Copenhagen Business School. He is currently an associate professor in Management and Organizational Learning at the Department for Education and Pedagogies (IUP) at Aarhus University.

His key research interest lies within the mundane everyday-life co-evolution of subjectivities, instruments and institutions in relation to reorganisation and product/service development. His interest circles around the complex processes involved in weaving together the actors’ different expertise, agendas, technology and classifications. He is particularly interested in social identity and his research focuses on how technologies, categories and humans co-construct work communities. How do technologies challenge existing agendas, boundaries and prospects? 

He has carried out empirical studies in industry; in Haute Cuisine and in public health care institutions. He currently works on a project on the interrelatedness between work environment and eat-robots in the disability sector. Preferred methods are ethnography and the inspiration comes particularly from STS, symbolic interactionism and ethnometodology. He has published a number of international as well as national scientific papers.
