Field of work

Emergency management, Thermodynamics and Chemistry are my main interests. With an education in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Thermodynamics, I often have a technological perspective on the emergency situations I study. This could include insights from emergency exercises related to gas leaks or other situations where chemistry or technology is prominent. Additionally, I am the main supervisor for a PhD candidate (Industry PhD) in passive fire protection. I am focused on the connection between research results and how they are applied within emergency services. Both the timing aspect and the communication of results (so that they can be utilised) are areas with potential for improvement. I have been involved in management from 2007 until 2015 (Head of Engineering Education and then Dean in the Faculty of Technical, Economical and Maritime subjects). I participated in the group who delivered NOU 2012:8 (New education for new challenges), regarding the restructuring of the education of personnel for the Fire and Rescue Services in Norway.
