I am an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. My research focuses on political behavior, with a particular emphasis on how political institutions and technological innovations shape voters’ attitudes and decisions in elections and referendums. In my work, I analyze how information provided by Voting Advice Applications influences electoral outcomes and how information more broadly affects voter biases. I am also interested in how direct democracy, as compared to representative democracy, shapes political behavior and political outcomes.
I teach theories and models in political economy, and my teaching portfolio also includes courses in econometrics, causal inference, data analytics, and data handling at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
