I am Chief Scientist in the group Measurement Science at NORCE Technology. My core competence is on nucleonic technologies, but I am involved in development measurement technology and process monitoring in general, with a particular focus on flow, quality and flow assurance related measurements. During the last 5 years focus has also included advanced ocean monitoring. As Chief Scientist, I am involved in generation, execution, and management of projects. Through more than 15 years in the research group, I have managed, and been involved in the management of, several competence building projects and innovation projects funded by the Research Council of Norway, and a wide range of industry projects and international innovation projects. Currently, this includes being the Deputy Centre Director for SFI Smart Ocean, a centre for research-based innovation (SFI) hosted by the University of Bergen. This SFI is developing a wireless underwater sensor network for monitoring of the ocean and structures placed in the ocean.
Common for all projects I have been involved in, including my Cand. Scient. and Dr. Scient. studies at the University of Bergen, 3,5 years in industry and more than 15 years in the institute sector, has been industry relevant research and innovation. Participation in OG21 Technology Group 4 (Production, processing and transport), the GCE Ocean Technology focus group for RDI, the board of the Underwater Technology Foundation have given additional insight to industry R&D challenges and priorities.
I have during many years also been involved in personnel management and R&D project portfolio management covering a wide range of technologies and application areas.
