About
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at IKOM and my main research interests are neonatology and global health.
I am part of the research group Neonatal medical research - NTNU Neo.
Research
I defended my PhD in May 2022 on the project entitled “Perinatal asphyxia in a global perspective: How can we improve outcomes?” with main supervisor Ragnhild Støen. The first part of my PhD project was a retrospective observational study of incidence and long-term outcomes after perinatal asphyxia in Sør Trøndelag before and after the implementation of therapeutic hypothermia (cooling). The second study was a randomized controlled trial of therapeutic hypothermia for infants with perinatal asphyxia in India (THIN-study). My postdoctoral project is closely related to my PhD with the topic of perinatal asphyxia and therapeutic hypothermia.
