Welcome! I am Research Fellow and Ph.D. Student in the Global Infrastructures research group at the Department of Informatics of the University of Oslo, Norway.

My general research interest is standardisation processes relating to information and communication technologies.

Specifically, I am focusing on wireless information infrastructures. My primary case is emerging mobile digital broadcasting technologies and I investigate their relationship with other mobile information infrastructure technologies. My theoretical perspectives are constituted of various approaches to the social shaping and construction of technology (including information economics).

My research is funded by Telenor's Research & Innovation Unit, The Research Council of Norway, as well as the European Commission's 7th Research Framework Programme.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments!
