CV
Personal summary
In October 2017 I started as a Research Engineer at Simula Research Laboratory in the department for Scientific Computing, and will work with development of computational modeling tools primarily with application in electrophysiology and mechanics.
Before I started as a Research Engineer I was a PhD student in the Cardiac Modelling group in the department for Scientific Computing, also at Simula Research Laboratory. In my PhD I worked with patient specific models of the cardiac mechanics, and defended it at January 17th 2018.
I graduated in 2014 after finishing a joint master degree in Applied and Engineering Mathematics at NTNU in Trondheim and DTU in Copenhagen.
My fields of interests are mathematical modelling, scientific computing and high performance compting.
