I am an associate professor of science education at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research. I completed my PhD study at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, University of Oslo. My dissertation drew on research in science education and international large-scale assessments. This work was recognized with the prestigious Bruce H. Choppin Dissertation Award from the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA).

In addition to teaching and research, I offer mentorship to young researchers and scholarship seekers in my areas of expertise. If my research areas align with your interests or pursuits, feel free to contact me for collaboration opportunities or supervision. Your ideas and partnership are always welcomed.
