Core competencies

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Safety, Economics and Planning at the Faculty of Science
and Technology. I am Study Programme leader for the Urban Planning and Societal Safety, and lead a
master course in Resilient Cities.

My research interests are in the trade and use of military, security, and police technologies and their
social and political impacts. I specialise in smart home security, perimeter security, satellite navigation
systems, autonomous systems, criminology and counterterrorism.

I am currently researching the vulnerabilities of satellite navigation systems from electronic interference
from portable jamming and spoofing devices (RF).

I am also developing a assessment for making proportional and cost-effective decisions for the protection
of urban spaces from crime and terrorism threats.

RTD Experience

 Project CoordinatorProject PartnerProject Acronyms
Other Security Research Projects ✔✔1. I was Honorary Fellow at the Centre for the Study of
Terrorism and Political Violence
(CSTPV) at the University of St. Andrews, UK, which looks
at the GNSS spoofing and
jamming and its implications for manned and autonomous
vehicles. The findings of this
research will be published in Dec 2021.

2. I am involved in Trolltunga Bilateral Fund in the field of
Higher Education
Institutions. The initiative aims to develop and improve
research cooperation between
the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of
Stavanger and the Faculty of
Transportation Sciences of the Czech Technical University
(FTS CTU) in Prague. The
main focus of the bilateral cooperation is to exchange and
broaden knowledge about
planning in the context of smart and resilient cities. High
relevance is given to
education, student exchange, and research.

3. I am assisting in tasks and working packages for RiskSec
2.0. The overall project
objective is to analyse how climate change adaptation
(CCA) takes place in a
multilevel risk governance context, by combining two
theoretical perspectives: risk
governance and securitisation.
