Meet our staff
The School of Information Technology (ITE) is a multicultural school with around 150 employees from 20 different countries. They work at two departments, CERES and ISDD.

”Working at a university, I can teach the younger generations and transfer my knowledge, I can be a leader and a role model. I can be creative and do research without necessarily being limited to a specific direction of one company.”

Edison Pignaton de Freitas, Professor of Autonomous Systems, works to create advanced systems that can improve both defence strategies and agricultural technologies.

“Feedback from students drives me in my role. I find the social side of learning and teaching very rewarding. At the University, I have been given a great deal of freedom to teach the way I want to, and I have always been encouraged to try new ideas and concepts.”

Malin Bornhager and Olga Torstensson are programme directors at Halmstad University, and responsible for the University's Cisco Academy.
”We educate staff at European police authorities so that they in turn can train their IT crime investigators.”
