About me

I am Research Professor of Philosophy at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), working in philosophy of science and medicine. My expertise is in the philosophy of causality, complexity, probability and risk, and other philosophical biases in science that influence choice of theory, method, policy and practice. My most recent publication is the Philosophy of Science book, written together with Elena Rocca. A review of the book by Kostas Kampourakis is published in Science & Education.

I love experimenting in my teaching and I made a syllabus in podcast episodes for my Introduction to Philosophy class, to reduce screen time when teaching went digital. I have written about my experience with teaching during the pandemic for Daily Nous.

I have served as member of the NMBU research ethics committee since 2014 and the National Research Ethics Committees of Norway since 2017. Since August 2022 I have lead the NMBU Research Ethics Forum. I have committed to the Philosophers for Sustainability pledge.
