I am a Principal Scientist at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Oslo (Digital Security Group at Department of Informatics). Before that I worked as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK. I have also worked at the University of Edinburgh (School of Informatics) and Newcastle University.
