Eric Monteiro

Eric Monteiro is a Professor at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo. His work focuses on the intersection of information systems, socio-technical practices, and digital transformation across various domains including healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial operations.

Professor Monteiro's research interests span multiple areas of Information Systems with particular expertise in:

• Socio-technical aspects of digital innovation and transformation
• Human-AI collaboration and the politics of emerging technologies
• Information infrastructures and knowledge practices
• Environmental monitoring systems and green information systems
• Health information systems and integrated care
• Theoretical foundations of information systems drawing on Science and Technology Studies

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory exploring how digital technologies reshape work practices, knowledge production, and organizational structures. Monteiro's work often takes a sociomaterial perspective, examining how technical and social elements co-constitute each other in various contexts from oil and gas operations to coral reef monitoring. His research increasingly focuses on the challenges and opportunities of human-AI collaboration, particularly regarding uncertainty management and the shifting boundaries between human and machine capabilities.

Monteiro has established himself as a thought leader in critical perspectives on information systems, with publications in top-tier journals including MIS Quarterly, Journal of the AIS, and Information and Organization. His work bridges theoretical depth with empirical richness, often drawing on long-term field studies in complex organizational settings.
