Teaching
I have 15+ years of university teaching experience as a lecturer (lektor) and professor, designing and delivering courses in AI, data science, recommender systems, and digital media/management. I supervise students across all levels—BSc, MSc, PhD—and teach executive cohorts, including MBA participants. As a Full Professor at the University of Bergen, Director of SFI MediaFutures, and an ACM Distinguished Speaker, I connect cutting-edge research with practice in the classroom and on stage. To book executive education, a guest lecture, or a keynote, please visit my Services page.

References
I am happy to provide job/graduate school references to the past students of my courses. However, to get a positive reference you should earned at least an A on my course and be among the top 10% (for graduate school reference) or top 20% (for a job reference) of students in class. I am also happy to provide references to all students who were working with me in research projects and independent studies producing good results.
