Researcher of AI & automation adoption, lecturer, former consultant. I take the work seriously and myself a little less. Currently somewhere between a Bayesian network.
I'm a PhD researcher in Organizational Engineering and a lecturer, with over a decade in information risk management and IT compliance — four years at KPMG Hamburg in Digital Compliance (the team formerly known as IRM), then to Oslo for a stint as a consultant at Capgemini, and three years as Manager for Cyber Security at KPMG Oslo before stepping into academia full-time.
My research is about a deceptively simple question: how and why do people in organizations adopt new technology, or quietly refuse to?
I'm adaptable by trade and curious by default. People are wonderfully complicated, and figuring them out is a lifetime's work — which is exactly why this job never gets boring. And I'd rather make you smile while explaining a Bayesian network than bore you with one.

Mina is the intellectual force behind every paper — co-author in spirit, muse by vocation, and chief supervisor of late-night writing sessions.
She contributes mainly by sitting on the keyboard at decisive moments and demanding food during peer review.
Things I send students and reviewers all the time. Rankings, libraries, methods papers, standards, and the theory classics. Bookmark them — they save you hours.
A few texts that shaped how I think about work, organisations and technology. Not assigned reading — but you might enjoy them.
Beyond academia — the people, places, and things that keep the curiosity alive.
