About

I am an associate professor at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics (Institutt for teknisk kybernetikk, ITK) at NTNU. I'm also an affiliated scientist at NTNU's SFI Autoship.

In the period 2016-2024, I was a member of the Norwegian Board of Technology, and I have also been a member of the expert group on enabling technologies for the Norwegian Digital21 strategy.

In the period 2013-2021, I was the head of ITK during two tenure terms, and in the period 2013-2023 I was an affiliated scientist at NTNU's SFF AMOS.

Together with fantastic colleagues, I am currently involved in several activities, including:

1. Working to manifest the world's first autonomous electric ferries for urban waterways. This work has so far resulted in world-leading research results, the spinoff-company Zeabuz, and the world's first trial operation of such a ferry in the Canal in Trondheim.

2. Working to revitalize the coastal areas in Norway which are currently being depopulated in favor of the largest metropolitan areas. A Norway without coastal districts will be a poor and perspective-less Norway. Fortunately, the technological revolution happening the last ten years enables us to strongly counteract the depopulation trend. We also focus on finding what is unique for each coastal region and what can make them attractive for young people to migrate to from all over the world, inspired by the Finest Future initiative in Finland. In our work, we are supported by the Norwegian government through a direct funding over the National budget for 2023. This funding will be used for a pilot on the new concept of a Coastal development center, in Kirkenes. We have an incredible consortium assembled, including NTNU which educates 80% of the technology students in Norway, local actors, property developers and friends from Finland. One component in this will be the new ICE innovation festival, which is a spinoff of Slush in Helsinki.

3. Working to develop the Nyhavna harbor area in Trondheim into what we call "Nyhavna 5.0", where we envision a high-tech cluster of researchers, students, startup companies, supplier companies, end-user companies, venture capitalists, etc. - all focusing on ocean space technology – to be gathered in a compact location right by the fjord, together with apartments, cultural institutions, general commerce, etc. - making it a 24-7 high-tech urban area.

4. Working to establish a new field called "societal cybernetics", in order to be able to model all types of societal phenomena with much greater accuracy. Today there exist separate models of parts of society, but not models that are connected well enough together to be able to explain the societal phenomena we observe today, where everything is much more strongly connected with everything than ever before in history due to digital technologies. The aim of societal cybernetics is therefore to be able to create better models and thus better tools for decision support, so that we can get a better understanding of the link between a given intention and which actions are appropriate to take in order to achieve the intention. In this way, we humans can gain better insight into society's relationships on both large and small scales, and thus be able to navigate better in large and small decisions that have to be made in society. One of the organizations I work with is the independent TERRAVERA Foundation, which works towards quantifying sustainability.
