With a background in mathematics, physics, and science communication, I hold a Ph.D. in Physics Education Research from the University of Oslo, and I am a recipient of the International Astronomical Union Ph.D. Prize in Education, Outreach, and Heritage. My research intersects science education, embodied cognition, and technology perspectives, with a focus on how embodied experiences shape scientific understanding. I teach graduate courses at the Department of Science Education, and my main teaching responsibilities fall within the Master in Science Teaching (MiSU) and the Master in STEM Teaching (KASTEM).
In addition to my research and teaching responsibilities, I hold leadership positions within various professional organisations and offer mentorship to early-career researchers. I coordinate the Special Interest Group 'Languages & Literacies in Science Education' under the European Science Education Research Association (ESERA), and I serve as the co-chair of the ESERA 2025 conference in Copenhagen. I am also the co-founder of the International Modern Physics & Research in Education Seminar Series (IMPRESS), and I find great joy in fostering collaboration within the physics and science education communities.
