About

Originally trained as a teacher and geographer (PhD, and Professor in Human Geography) I joined OsloMet in September 2021 to do research and to teach in GIS, spatial analytics and computer aided geo-techniques. I have long experience of microdata research, data creation in GIS, Spatial Big Data studies (primarely using Mobile phone data) as well as development of geo-software. My most widespread software is EquiPop which currently is used in 28 countries.
