I am a senior researcher at NORCE Energy & Technology in the Digital Systems group, with more than 25 years of experience in software development within research projects. My role is to build the systems around research data: solutions for collecting, processing, storing and visualizing varied datasets. I work across disciplines, contributing software development and system architecture to projects in very different fields, in close collaboration with the domain experts in each of them.
My main professional interests are data visualization, geographical information systems (GIS), and systems for handling real-time data. A central area of work is Enlighten, a generic web platform for visualization and interactive exploration of research data, where I have been one of the main developers. The platform has been adopted in several scientific contexts, including making geoscientific data accessible through European research infrastructures such as EPOS-Norway and ENVRI-FAIR. The work now continues in EPOS-NG, the national research infrastructure for geohazards, where I take part in developing portal and visualization solutions. I also have a long-standing involvement in the AIS project, an established solution for the collection, storage and tracking of AIS data from vessels, which remains in operational use.
The projects I contribute to span very different fields, such as energy, environment and health. For example, in iAMP-Hydro I have contributed to the development of the communication solution for monitoring data from hydropower operations. In ODIN I have worked on analytical pipelines and interactive visualization for data from genomic environmental surveillance, which researchers use in studies of waterborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. In RE-AIMED I was responsible for the software architecture and implementation of a demonstrator for decision support in medical telephone triage in emergency primary care, and developed the underlying machine learning models. My contribution across these projects is the same: building the digital solutions that make the data accessible and usable.
I started at Christian Michelsen Research in 2001 and have since built broad experience with a wide range of technologies in research-driven development processes.
I hold a Master's degree in Computer Technology (siv.ing.) from NTNU, and an engineering degree from Bergen University College.
