I am the Administrative Coordinator of the Immersive Technology and Robotics Lab (ImRo-Lab), where I assist in administering both national and EU-funded research projects housed in the lab. I also serve as an EU advisor for the Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science, where I assist researchers in applying for and securing EU-funded grants.

I have a Masters from Harvard University, where I studied South Asian languages, literature, and religion, and worked in the Harvard administration before coming to NTNU. In addition to my administration work, I am interested in ethics, religion, and spirituality as they relate to contemporary technology and robotics.
