It is inspiring to work on research and development projects resulting in technologies that make a difference.
I am a chief scientist at NORCE Energy where I work in the Energy Modeling and Automation group.
My expertise lies in mathematical modeling and software development, primarily for the oil and gas industry.
I hold a PhD in energy and petroleum technology, a master’s in applied mathematics, and a bachelor's degree in marine engineering and business administration. I am educated at the University College of Bergen (BSc), University of Bergen (MSc), University of Stavanger, and University of Houston (PhD).
I have long and broad experience as a researcher, software developer, lecturer, project manager, and administrative leader of a research group. Since 2015, I have led the software development project OpenLab, a digital infrastructure for technology development, education, research, and innovation. OpenLab is designed to accelerate the uptake of new technologies and to renew the education of future engineers and researchers in the energy field. OpenLab is on the Norwegian roadmap for research infrastructures. I have also had the pleasure of participating in developing commercial successes from the idea stage to widely implemented technology (Sekal AS).
