PhD Candidate at the Department of Public Health and Nursing. Part of the Cardiac Exercise Research Group (CERG) at the K. G. Jebsen Center for Exercise in Medicine, Department of Circulation and Medical Imaging. My research topic is physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and brain health among middle-aged and elderly individuals. The project uses data from the HUNT studies and the Generation 100 study.

I have a Master’s degree from the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory (NU-lab) at the Department of Psychology, NTNU, where I studied the development of visual motion perception in preterm infants.
