Occupation

After 5 years in industry (WesternGeco and Scienta/Telenor), I came back full time to academia, as Professor of Software Engineering at Kristiania University College (formerly Westerdals), Oslo, from 1st October 2016, where I lead the AISE lab. As of 2020, I also hold a part-time position as Adjunct Professor at the Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet).
