Background

I have a PhD in Political Science from the University of Oslo from 2017, and an M.Phil. in Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Oslo from 2009. Between 2009 and 2012, I was Research Fellow at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), working on topics such as counterinsurgency operations, the use of intelligence in international peace operations, protection of civilians, security in the High North, and international cyber security. Between 2012 and 2016, I was a PhD candidate with FFI's Terrorism Research Group (Terra). My PhD thesis is on right-wing terrorism and violence in Western Europe. My current research is on the relationship between between left- and right-wing militants in Scandinavia, and between political extremism (ideas) and political violence (action) more generally. I am also interested in the use of intelligence in domestic counterterrorism operations, as well as in international peace operations.
