Cover of Lære med KI by Vidar Skogvoll and Andreas D. Haraldsrud

My book Lære med KI, co-written with Andreas D. Haraldsrud, is coming this autumn from Universitetsforlaget. Written in Norwegian for teachers, it draws on cognitive learning psychology to give a grounded account of what generative AI changes in the classroom — and what it doesn't.

About me

I'm a physicist based in Stockholm, currently a senior lecturer at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. My PhD work was on phase-field modeling of crystal deformations and microplasticity; my current research looks at how AI shapes teaching and learning more broadly.

Alongside research and teaching, I work in science communication: I co-host the podcast Under Kappa, appear regularly on NRK's Abels tårn, and give talks on AI and learning. I'm currently writing a book on teaching with AI, forthcoming from Universitetsforlaget.
