About Publications Teaching Outreach

About

I am a professor affiliated with the research group for Roads, Railways and Transport, and my research is primarily focused on winter maintenance of roads and airports. I have a strong academic interest in engineering challenges related to snow and ice, and I find significant scientific value in efforts to ensure accessibility and traffic safety under winter conditions.

My research covers topics such as salting (including anti-icing, anti-compaction, and de-icing), snow plowing, and surface friction. The work is mainly experimental and has, through several projects, led to the development of NTNU SnowLab – a specialized laboratory dedicated to snow engineering research. SnowLab supports education and research at all levels, from bachelor’s and master’s programmes to PhD studies.

I am deeply committed to teaching and place great importance on sharing knowledge and insights through lectures, practical exercises, and individual supervision. I am responsible for the following courses: TBM4280 Road and Transport Planning, BA6061 Road Maintenance and Operations, and BA8617 Road Maintenance and Operations in Cold Climates.
