About

Employed as a PhD-candidate at both the Clinic of Substance Use and Addiction Medicine (St Olavs hosiptal, department for research and development) and at the Institute for mental health. My project is about the effect of aerobic exercise on cognitive function and treatment outcome in patients with substance use disorder.

BA in Sports Science (health promotion/rehabilitation); MSc in Exercise Physiology (Master's Thesis at CERG (Cardiac Exercise Research Group): "Effects of long-term aerobic exercise on metabolic syndrome in older adults – a substudy of the randomized controlled trial Generation 100").
