Welcome to my homepage!
I am an associate professor at Oslo Metropolitan University (Oslo Business School, Faculty of Social Sciences). My research focuses on the interactions between different transnational actors in the context of smart robotics and AI regulation. I have significant research and teaching experience. My monograph 'Regulatory Integration across Borders' is published by Cambridge University Press. As a lecturer my goal is to help students understand the relevance of law in their day to day experiences and to inspire them to apply the law in areas where it matters to them.
