I'm a climate researcher at NORCE and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Bergen, Norway, where I lead the CONFER Horizon 2020 project, and the CATER project, both focusing on Africa. I'm also the chief scientist of Climate Futures and an adjunct researcher at the Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI). My main research interests are climate impacts, seasonal forecasting, and polar meteorology. Between 2011 and 2014, I was a scientist at StormGeo in Bergen, working primarily with weather forecasting and forecast/hindcast products for the wind energy industry. Before that, starting in 2003, I worked for the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research at the University of Bergen, where I also took my PhD in meteorology.
