Profile

Research background/interests

• As a background, I have several years of experience in project management, software and tech engineering, as an external lecturer, and independent business owner, founded in various technological and business domains. I have developed and deployed technological and data-driven systems for clients and stakeholders, within multiple tech-stacks, merged and designed into areas of Information Systems, IoT, App- and Web-applications, VR/AR technologies, AI, and Machine Learning systems, etc. - I am also Scrum Master certified from ScrumAlliance, qualifying me to act in agile environments. 
  
  
• In general, I have a deep, broad and hands-on understanding and experience within multiple areas of technologies and digital aspects, combined with the newest technological trends and business opportunities.

Methodological & Theoretical background/interests

• I primarily utilize Design Science Research (DSR) / Action Research methodologies as core frameworks for researching, developing, designing, and evaluating technological artifact creations and solutions.
  
  
• I also use other relevant theories related to software architectures and application design, system modularization, human-computer interaction, data visualization techniques and prototyping to inform and complement methods.
  
  
• I primarily conduct qualitative research to collect and analyze artifact creation and development requirements from stakeholders and the environment of the problem, as well as to demonstrate and evaluate solutions. I also collect quantitative data for measuring and collecting system data.
  
  
• I use interviews, observations, document analysis, case studies, experiments, and simulations to explore and understand the technical, organizational, and human factors involved in developing and utilizing data-driven systems to understand, design, and integrate innovative solutions.

Moreover, I am the Lab-Lead of the PROTO* Research Lab at Aarhus University placed at AU Herning / BTECH.
