Bio

Jeg har min utdanning fra Universitetet i Bergen, Høyskolen i Bergen, Universitetet i Stavanger og University of Houston. Jeg har en doktorgrad i energi- og petroleumsteknologi, hovedfag i anvendt matematikk og bachelor i marinteknikk. Min ekspertise er innenfor matematisk modellering, og spesielt innen systemer for prosessovervåking og styring av boreoperasjoner og effektivisering av disse. Som førsteamanuensis har jeg ansvar for undervisning og veiledning av master og PhD studenter ved institutt for energi- og petroleumsteknologi. Jeg har lang og bred erfaring både som forsker, foreleser, prosjektleder, og som administrativt ansvarlig for en forskningsgruppe. Siden 2015 har jeg ledet utviklingen og tilgjengeliggjøring av forsknings- og utdanningsinfrastrukturen OpenLab. OpenLab er utviklet for å akselerere opptaket av ny teknologi og for å fornye utdanningen av fremtidens ingeniører og forskere innenfor energi-fagene. OpenLab er på norsk veikart for forskningsinfrastrukturer siden 2016 og i bruk ved UiS siden 2018. https://openlab.app Siden 2011 har jeg ledet programmet «Sikrere og mer kostnadseffektiv boring» under DrillWell, et senter for forskningsbasert innovasjon ledet av NORCE. Jeg har også hatt gleden av å delta i utviklingen av kommersielle suksesser fra idéstadiet til bredt implementert teknologi (Sekal AS).
