Background and activities
Hello and welcome. This is a quick overview of my activities at MTP, NTNU.
I work mainly with testing of polymers and composites, numerical modelling, and NDE. Together with talented students and colleagues, we employ new materials and technologies while sustaining a balance between experimental work and modelling. Our lab experiments range from microscale up to full-scale testing. Computer simulations run on desktops, and on rare occasion, also on supercomputers.
Personally, I aim to be grounded and I want to reduce waste in all aspects of life.
To discuss fresh new ideas and future projects, kindly take contact.
