PhD in Information Systems and Data Science, holds a position as a Senior Lecturer and Researcher at the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology. In addition to teaching, supervision, and examination, my work includes educational development, quality assurance, research and development projects, and strategic initiatives related to digital transformation and artificial intelligence across the fields of Information Systems, Media Technology, Computer Science, and Educational Technology.

My research is situated at the intersection of Educational Technology, Implementation Science, Data-Informed Decision-Making, and Generative AI. My primary research interest concerns the interplay between technology, organizations, and human learning. Additional research interests include Design Thinking, Interaction Design, Implementation Science, Digital Transformation, and the use of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education.

I also serve as Program Director for the Master's Program in Educational Technology (EdTech).

Teaching

Supervisor, teacher, and examiner in several courses and programs on different levels in informatics, computer science, EdTech, and media technology.

Research

The research conducted in the EdTechLnu Research Group has three main tracks:

Development of new technology to support education and learning.
A study of teaching and learning where students and teachers use digital technology.
Change of educational activities through the implementation of digital technology.

Commissions

I act as the department's representative in the faculty curriculum group and the ditto syllabi group, and the EdTech representative in the department educational council.
