Sérsvið

Main research emphasis is on engineering management in the domain of strategic project management, risk management and decision analysis. Currently working on projects on the economic uncertainty in the Arctic, the “projectification” of the organization, structured decision making based on stochastic and cognitive perspectives and fresh approaches in teaching i.e. experiential learning.
