I received a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Bergen in 2005. Following this, I worked in academia as a post-doctoral researcher, and subsequently senior researcher in Uni Research. In 2013, I transitioned to the subsea industry, initially as a senior geophysicist in OCTIO AS, then from 2017 as CEO of a spin-off company (MonViro AS), and following company acquisition in 2022, I held the position of Director of Environmental Monitoring at Reach Subsea. I returned to academia joining NORCE in 2024.
Through my background in research and more than ten years in the private sector, my experience extends from data processing, data analysis and modelling, as well as fostering innovation and working with business development within emerging markets. I have a broad experience with project management in significant industry projects as well as in research initiatives in cooperation with academic institutions.
My primary research interests include numerical modelling, data assimilation, optimal control problems, and the integrated interpretation of multiple data types such as seafloor displacement, gravimetry, seismic, electromagnetic, and well data.
