Since 01/01/18 I am associate professor (tenure-track) of autonomous systems at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics (ITK/NTNU). My main goal is to fuse low-level control with high-level AI and develop cyber-physical systems of increased autonomy. At the moment I have a focus on deep reinforcement learning for ocean-based applications.During 2019-20 I.
