Field of work
I am an associate professor in fire safety at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. My main research topics include fire dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, computational fire dynamics, fire modeling and simulation, and evacuation modeling. I have valuable experience working with curious and ambitious students in research, both BSc and MSc.
I completed my PhD in fire modeling at the Fire Safety Engineering Group (FSEG) at the University of Greenwich in 2015. After that, I began my research on fire modeling and evacuation simulation at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
