Academic interests
Ever since I myself was a student at department of Computer Science at Ostfold University College, I've taken interest in the design- and user-perspectives of informatics; why does things look, act and feel the way they do, and do we understand them?
Utilizing the web-platform is my main interest, given the possibilites it offers within interfaces, platforms and communication channels, which can be used to everything from entertainment to saving lives!
My research revolves around two main topics; teaching (mainly in introductory programming for creatives), and web technology and communication in digital storytelling / digital journalism.
