Research Activities

My current research interests are aligned around applying statistical methods and machine learning in the constrained settings of IoT systems.

Current PhD students:

Marija Gajic
Faiga Alawad
Abdulmajid Murad
Anders Eivind Bråten
Sondre Ninive Andersen (together with Geir Mathisen)
Victor Wattin Håkansson (together with Stefan Werner and Ingelin Steinsland)

Teaching Activities

I am program responsible for the 5-year MSc in Communication Technology and Digital Security. (Norwegian: 5-årig Sivilingeniør/Masterprogram i Kommunikasjonsteknologi og digital sikkerhet) and teach the following courses:

Selected Teaching Resources (for students)

Educational Activities

Since 2018 I am excellent teaching practitioner (merittert underviser), and participate in the study program committee for university pedagogics.

In my teaching activities I try to use active learning and utilize some of our active learning spaces, especially by using Team-based learning or variants of it. See here a video of a talk about the TTM4115 course at Læringsfestivalen, or the corresponding article (in Norwegian).

My work applying TBL resulted in two learning modules that may be interesting for you:

A 2-hour seminar about TBL that I offer around once or twice per year. (You can register your interest.)
A 20-hour module about TBL as part of the pedagogic training program at NTNU.

Teaching Resources (for other teachers)

To help with my own teaching, I developed a few open-source programs that may be useful for some.

Digital Scratch Cards - a solution to do TBL team-quizzes online.
Teampy - a program to create and grade multiple-choice quizzes in large classes. Perfect for RATs in TBL.
Supermark - a program to write websites for courses
Timers - a set of timers to include in Keynote or PowerPoint slides.
