I am an Associate Professor of Information Systems at the Department of Informatics and the HISP Centre at the University of Oslo. Before joining academia, I worked as a developer in the software industry and with information management in the public sector.

My research interests circle around digitalization in the sense that digitalized activities depend deeply on data and the digital technologies and infrastructures that generate, transfer, and process them. In my research, I follow this interest by studying how emerging technologies (e.g., AI) change how work is done, how digitalization changes how we know and understand phenomena around us, as well as wider organizational and societal changes driven by visions of digitalization and intelligent technologies.

Empirically, I do studies of digitalization in the public sector and healthcare organizations. I have done research on new digital service models in healthcare and on inter-organizational digitalization projects in the public sector. Going forward, I am mostly interested in digitalization projects involving AI-enabled technologies and how such technologies are implemented and applied in practice. While most of my work is done in a Norwegian context, I am also engaged in research on digitalization project in Tanzania and Zanzibar, through my engagement in the HISP network.

Methodologically, I am a qualitative researcher. Theoretically, I am inspired by information infrastructure and ecological perspectives on technology, which emphasize the interconnected nature of both digital technologies and human activities. I synthesize this with practice theories and pragmatism, which directs my research toward studying how people work locally with technology in the context of larger social and digital networks and processes.
