About

I`m lead researcher of the research- and innovation project BoVEL, funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN), and in collaboration with No Isolation and Oslo Municipality.

I`m also preoccupied with digitalization and innovation in public health- and social services, and the conditions of public-private collaboration in these services. For that reason, I`m part of the university EAE `Resaerch Centre for Digitalisation of Public Services and Citizenship` (CEDIC), which centres on the unintended consequences of the ongoing digitalization of welfare services. 

At the Department of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social Policy I am part of the academic unit `Service Organization and Innovation in Social Work and Child Protection`. From 2020 to 2024, I was head of that unit.

My PhD project was about General Practitioners` approaches to diagnosis when patients are presenting with `medically unexplained symptoms` or `uncertain illness`. The thesis explores the relationship between knowledge and ambiguity from a sociology of knowledge perspective.

As a postdoctoral fellow, I was part of the research network WATT (Welfare Access Through Technology, a precursor of CEDIC). I explored the development, implementation and uses of social technologies and so-called `welfare technologies` more broadly. I was also lead researcher of the RCN-funded project 'Simple and Safe Point of Contact with Relatives', a pandemic response project in collaboration between OsloMet, the tech-company No Isolation, and Oslo municipality. I was also work package leader in Virtual Presence (also funded by RCN). In addition, I led the 'REACH Core Group' at the department, which was part of the interdisciplinary research environment REACH, where user-driven and service-oriented research was in focus.
