I am a PhD Candidate in the area of Nuclear Energy, as a part of the RAMS group at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MTP). My background is Nuclear Engineering, with research on Proton-induced Nuclear Data, Nuclear Security and a Master level academic focus on Radioactive Waste Management & Decommissioning (RWMD).
My main research interest is the nuclear safety aspect related to the nuclear energy industry in Norway. As Norway investigates a probable implementation of a nuclear power generation program, I intend to assess the current nuclear safety culture present at the existing research facilities, and the activities required to scale up to a power generation program.
My research at MTP, NTNU focuses on:
Norway's preparedness to undertake a nuclear power generation program, from a safety point of view
Assessment of nuclear safety culture present in the existing nuclear research facilities in Norway
Risk and reliability analysis of implementable nuclear tech options in Norway
