Fields of work
I am currently working at the education/teacher training at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
From January 2016 to December 2018 I worked at Norce Climate as a biogeochemist on the NorESM and the ORGANIC project.
I worked with geophysics from the beginning of 2013 to the end of 2015 at a VISTA project. in the program. The focus of my research there was on seismic inversion and fracture parameters and anisitropic media. I was hired by Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA) and Letters through VISTA and its Exploration research area. VISTA is a basic research programme funded by Statoil and is conducted in close collaboration with DNVA. My office was at the University of Bergen, Deparment of Earth Science, where I worked together with Prof. Morten Jakobsen.
During my Ph.D. I worked on two main fields, Rydberg atoms in external fields and ion-molecule collisions. The Ph.D degree is a joint degree the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC – Paris 6) and University of Bergen and was governed by a cotutelle agreement. The title of the dissertation was “A theoretical study of the response in atomic and molecular systems to time-dependent external fields”
During my master degree I worked on the electronic structure of a highly correlated two-electron quantum ring, which is more within the field of solid state physics. The work was mainly done at the Department for Physics and Technology, University of Bergen, but I also spent a period at Alba Nova – Stockholm Centre for Physics, Astronomy and Biotechnology, Stockholm University.
