About
I am currently a PhD Candidate in Electrical Power Engineering at NTNU researching how to model and control a green power system. Additionally, I hold a position as a Specialist Engineer at Statkraft.
Moreover, I spent the first half of 2025 as a Visiting Graduate Student in Professor Patricia Hidalgo-Gonzalez's group at UC San Diego.
Prior to joining Statkraft, I graduated from NTNU with an M.Sc. in Energy and Environmental Engineering, specializing in Electrical Power Engineering, including a year-long stay at RWTH Aachen University.
Research
My research focuses on how data-driven and conventional physics-based methods can be combined and further developed to better model and control a green power system. This includes work with machine learning, advanced control theory, and power system operations, analysis and control.
My doctoral advisors are Prof. Kjetil Obstfelder Uhlen and Dr. Sigurd Hofsmo Jakobsen.
