Background and activities
I have been working as an associate processor at IDI since August 2018. Before that I worked as researcher and research manager at SINTEF Digital. Before that I was for seven years researcher and project manager at Teleor R&D. I have a part time position as senior researcher at SINTEF Digital.
Teaching and supervision
I teach software processes at bachelor level and empirical research methods at master level. I supervise master students who work on cases from digitalization, often in the public sector.
