Background and experience
I am a University Lecturer in Mechatronics at the Department of EngineeringSciences and have held a permanent position at UiA since 2018. I hold abachelor's (2015) and a master's degree (2017) in mechatronics from UiA, and I have completed the university pedagogy programme (basic teaching competence, 2025). Alongside my position I have held a part-time post as an R&D engineer in industry — at Red Rock Marine (2018–2024) and Hive Autonomy (2024–) — which gives me a practical grounding that I bring into my teaching and development work.
Areas of responsibility
I am programme coordinator for the bachelor's programme in mechatronics (since 2019) and course coordinator for several courses. I am responsible for organising and quality-assuring bachelor's and master's projects, and I am responsible for the Makerspace. In its launch year I led the implementation of FYSE (First Year Study Environment).
Teaching
I teach at bachelor's and master's level in programming, practical engineering, mechatronics, instrumentation, and measurement and control engineering (including ING100, MAS133, MAS200 and MAS240), as well as continuing education. My teaching is practice-oriented and project-based, and I have developed a range of low-cost, 3D-printable learning platforms for hands-on work with measurement and control.
Research
My academic interests lie at the intersection of control engineering, practical systems development and practice-oriented engineering education. I have published peer-reviewed work on the "Mechatronics Home Lab" for practical mechatronics teaching (IEEE ICCA 2022) and on control design for a hydraulic crane (IEEE AIM 2017). I am currently working on, among other things, learning outcomes in project-based teaching and applications of machine vision and autonomous systems.
