About

I am an electrical engineer (specialisation on energy systems) and got my diploma and PhD in Germany working with energy storage, solar systems and integration of wind energy into the German market. I have also done studies for industry related to the optimal operation planning of power plant portfolios. From 2010 on, I worked as postdoc and researcher for NTNU and SINTEF Energy - mainly on energy systems, offshore wind, energy transmission, CO2-emissions, microgrids, electric/hydrogen vehicles, integration of renewables and hydro power scheduling.

I am currently Associate Professor for Sustainable Electrical Energy at the Department of Electric Energy and manager of NTNU Energy Team Solar
