Background and activities
Innovation Advisor Helse Møre og Romsdal HF. Previously PhD student in Clinical Medicine at NTNU; breath hold radiotherapy for breast cancer.
Graduated as a physicist from NTNU in 1997, and have worked as a medical physicist since 2000. Have been working at the Cancer Clinic Helse Møre og Romsdal HF since 2001. Certified as a Medical Physicist Specialist, and holds the position as the head of medical physics at Ålesund hospital.
PhD-student, 50%, in the period 2014-2018. The PhD-work was an innovation project within deep inspiration breath hold in breast cancer radiotherapy.
Research activity has previously been in ultraviolet radiation from the sun and circumnutations for plant organs without gravity. In recent years 4 posters have been published at the european radiotherapy conference ESTRO. Currently also participating in a regionally randomised phase-3-study for prostate cancer; RIC-study. A new regional study asessing long-term damage from breast cancer radiotherapy was intiated as part of the phd; COBRA-study. 250 patient will be included in the period 2017-220.
