About

I am a part-time associate professor. I am an expert on trade secrets in collaborations and open innovation. I am also an intellectual property management expert with experience in Open Source Software, innovation processes, patents, branding, trademarks, design, intellectual property in project management, litigation support and trade secrets.

In addition to my PhD, I have an M.Sc. (siv.ing) in Telematics and a degree in pedagogy (PUFS) from  NTNU  and a Master of Management from BI-Norwegian School of Management. I am a European Patent Attorney and a European Trademark Attorney.

I have been a researcher with CIP (Center for Intellectual Property), a collaboration between Chalmers, Gothenburg University and NTNU
