Kort om meg

I am currently leading Stavanger AI Laboratory (SAIL). Feel free to reach out if you're interested in hearing about opportunities for collaboration! (https://www.uis.no/nb/forskning/stavanger-ai-lab/teknologi-og-naturvitenskap/stavanger-ai-lab)

Research interest(s)

My main research area is applied AI in healthcare, with a particular interest in medical imaging (radiology) and in challenges related to reaching clinically useful AI developments.

From a more broad perspective, I'm also interested in the consequences of AI for education and society.
