Ben David Normann
About
I have a masters degree in theoretical physics from NTNU and a phd from the university of Stavanger (UiS). A main focus in my research has been anisotropic cosmology, and also bulk-viscous cosmology. However, I am always open to applying my knowledge to different kinds of problems as well. We use dynamical systems a lot, which, after all, is aplicable in many other areas.
I also do an extensive bit of dissemination of science. I also engage publically in society's more philosophically oriented topics.
