I am working as chief engineer at the University of Bergen where I have been project manager for the Geomagnetic Conditions Expert Service Centre (G-ESC) since it was restarted in 2019. The G-ESC is one of five Expert Service Centres providing data and products to the European Space Agency's Space Weather Service where several universities and institutions across Europe collaborate.Before the re-start of the G-ESC, I was a part of the University of Bergen team making a radiation shutter on a satellite for the SMILE project. My role in the project was product and quality assurance.Until autumn 2016 I worked for Gexcon, a leading consultancy company within industrial explosion safety, when I decided to quit to go travelling in Latin America. For Gexcon I did risk analysis, experimental testing and CFD simulations.My educational background is from the University of Bergen, where I first finished a B.Sc. in physics and then a M.Sc. in optical physics, graduating in 2006. The degree includes courses in a wide array of fields within physics, such as thermodynamics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics, atomics physics and of course optics. I have also several courses in mathematics, statistics and programming (LabView, C++, Matlab, Root, Java).
