Noortje is a professor in Science, Technology and Society at the University of Warwick. Trained in the sociology and philosophy of science and technology, her research has contributed to the understanding of emergent forms of public engagement ("material participation"), the study of controversies about science and innovation (climate change, renewable energy, AI), as well as to interdisciplinary methods development (issue mapping, situational analytics). Noortje’s current work is concerned with technology testing beyond the laboratory as a form of knowledge and intervention in contemporary societies. Noortje is an external faculty member of the Institute for Advanced Study of the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and a Visiting Professor in the Centre for Media of Cooperation at the University of Siegen (Germany). She has published the books Material Participation: Technology, the Environment and Everyday Publics (2012) and Digital Sociology: the Reinvention of Social Research (2017), has co-edited with Michael Guggenheim and Alex Wilkie the book Inventing the Social (Mattering Press, 2018), and recently co-edited with Christian Katzenbach, Anders Kristian Munk, and Anna Jobin, the special issue Artificial Intelligence Controversies? in the journal Big Data & Society.
