Mary Ann Lundteigen

Lundteigen has a master in Technical Cybernetics (1993) and a PhD in RAMS (2009) from NTNU. She is employed as full time professor from January 1 2014 in the department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. In the period from 2014- 2016, she has headed the RAMS group, and she is now the co-director in the research driven Centre for innovation in subsea production and processing (SUBPRO) as the co-director (see www.ntnu.edu/subpro). From June 2019, she starts as a full professor in the department of Engineering Cybernetics.

Her main research interests and topics cover: Functional and failure analysis, functional safety, reliability analysis, safe design principles with main application area with safety-instrumented systems (electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems), and the follow-up of safety-instrumented systems in the operational phase. Industry sectors focused are oil and gas sector, process sector, and to some extent railway (signaling). She is also interested in other application areas, like aviation, automotive and maritime sector, as a basis to get inspiration for transfer of knowledge and methods between different industry sectors and industry traditions.
