My research centers around engineering design and human-computer interaction (HCI) through designing and conducting experiments involving physiology sensors and neuroimaging modalities. Such experiments can be valuable for interface design, product development and product evaluation. I use fNIRS, EEG, ECG and GSR. It is multidisciplinary—at the interface of cognitive science, design, engineering and HCI. I aim to understand how to design and develop the products that most effectively solve real problems. My ultimate academic goal is to reverse-engineer the design process of the very best technological solutions through the interface of neuroscience, engineering, and experimental research. I believe this research will contribute to developing better solutions serving the current needs of the planet.

As a part of the 21st Century Prototyping project, I am currently focusing on establishing the affordances of mixed reality prototyping and how it differs from physical and digital prototyping.

Short CV

I obtained my PhD June 26th, 2023 . I was PhD Candidate at TrollLABs at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and I have been a Visiting Student Researcher at Stanford University under the auspice of SCANCOR. Before that I obtained an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from NTNU. During my masters I was an Erasmus Exchange Student at the Danish Technical University (DTU), and I also studied entrepreneurship at the University of California Berkeley (UCB) and University of Oslo (UiO) via The Norwegian School of Entrepreneurship. Before that I studied math for a year through a One-Year Program in Mathematical Sciences at NTNU.
