Edit my page

I am a researcher of philosophy and leader of NMBU CAPS - Centre for Applied Philosophy of Science. I am PI for the project Causation, Complexity and Evidence in Health Sciences (CauseHealth), financed by FRIPRO, Research Council of Norway. My specialisation is causation, in particular on the relation between philosophical theory and scientific methodology and practice. I teach Examen Philosophicum in Norwegian PHI101 and English PHI102. I use Twitter for networking and blog about my research at Rani blogs about causation etc.

    Projects

    Causation in Science - An interdisciplinary study of causal processes
    Causation is central to our understanding of how matter, life, minds and society works. This collaborative and interdisciplinary project brings together academics from a range of backgrounds to consider the general theory of causation in relation to their own specialisms.

    Causation, Complexity and Evidence in Health Sciences (CauseHealth)
    CauseHealth bring together philosophers, medical researchers and practitioners to address a major challenge: how to understand causation in health sciences.
