I am a logician, esperantist and devoted backgammon player.
My academic interests lie in the intersection of mathematics and philosophy, ranging from
the philosophy of mathematics to logic and formal epistemology. In particular, I work mostly in modal logics for multi-agent systems such as social network logic and epistemic logic.
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Data and Knowledge Management group at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo.
Before I started in Oslo, I did another postdoc in the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam.
Even before that, I completed a PhD in Information Science in the Logic & AI research group at the University of Bergen, under the supervision of Marija Slavkovik, Thomas Ågotnes and Sonja Smets. The thesis was about using modal logic to research agents in multi-agent systems who act unexpectedly, or try to take advantage of the system for their own gain.
It won the Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Society (NAIS) Dissertation Award. You can read my thesis here.
