My background is in Political Science, and I am a Professor in Security and European Politics at OsloMet. I have a PhD in International Studies from the University of Cambridge (2010). Previously I have experience from various research and leadership positions at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, the Fafo research foundation and the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies. Before coming to OsloMet in 2019, I worked at the Command and Staff College at the Norwegian Defence University College.
