About
Senior Adviser in the Department of Research, Innovation and External Relations, based at NTNU in Trondheim.
- Coordinator for NTNU strategic research area Societal Security
- Follow-up of institutional and strategic collaboration agreements:
- Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI)
- Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (Forsvarsbygg) – under development
My core competence and interest reside in the overlap of System Engineering, Project Management, and Operation Management. In an age of increasing digitalization, artificial Intelligence and autonomous systems Operations Management is at its core about interdisciplinary approaches to optimal decision making. I am looking for cooperation between organizations with ambitions and strategies that embrace the opportunities that digital toolchains provide for the successful combination of basic research, vibrant R&D capabilities with high quality, scalable production of safety critical systems and infrastructures.
