Vegar Ottesen
Post-doctoral researcher
Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Natural Sciences Kjemi 5, 143, Gløshaugen
Background and activities
I am a post-doctoral researcher at the department of chemical engineering. My research is on cellulose nano-fibrils - their production, modification, applications and characterization. I have a PhD in chemical engineering and an M.Sc. in bio-nanotechnology. My Ph.D. was defended April 27. 2018, and was written while I was with the "Biorefinery and Fiber Technology" research group. My work, which was a part of the NORCEL project was funded through the Research Council of Norway's NANO2021 project. My current research is funded by NTNU.
