Research interests
My research covers five main topics. The first topic is adaptive system architectures. My main contributions in the area are the development of programming abstractions for adaptive control and techniques for observing and analyzing system behavior. My second topic is support for multimedia applications, including continuous media. My main contributions within this topic are applying formal specifications of quality of service management (QoS) to the configuration of the running environment for multimedia applications and the development of explicit binding architectures for multimedia communication. The third theme is support for mobility and context-sensitive systems. This includes observing changes in the environment and offering the best possible service based on these observations (for example in the personalization of services). My main contributions are context-sensitive configuration and reconfiguration based on current context and support for integration of a wide range of services and information resources. My fourth theme is security. My main contributions here are research around adaptable security mechanisms, development of secure and user-friendly storage and sharing of information, combination of secure multiparty computation (SMC) and public key technology to solve problems around privacy and analysis of data (including health data), and security in the context of mobile devices, NFC and secure elements (SIM cards). The fifth main theme is within AI and machine learning (ML). My main contributions here are within system and programming support when implementing solutions that use ML.
Teaching
I have extensive teaching and supervision experiences from UiT and Hedmark University College. I have prepared several new courses both at UiT and at Hedmark University College. I have taught at all levels in the department's course portfolio, and I have taught within many different topics. I have supervised a large number of master's students and PhD students. I have also been an examiner for courses and master's degrees at many different universities and colleges (including the University of Oslo, NTNU, Bodø University College/Nord University, Hedmark University College and Østfold University College). I have also been a member of doctoral committees at UiT, the University of Oslo, Technische Universität München (TUM) and Karlstad University.
