Professional Experience
Scientist
Ocean and Ice Division, Norwegian Meteorological Institute- Researching regional impacts of increased turbulence in the ocean, due to offshore wind installations.
- Developing and implementing a parameterisation of this increased turbulence in ROMS/Norkyst.
- Running and analysing ROMS/Norkyst simulations using HPC resources.
- Interpreting model results, with an emphasis on the underlying physical mechanisms.
PhD Candidate
Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo- Contributed to the development of fundamental theory on non-linear ocean circulation.
- Designed and executed numerical simulations of fluid dynamics (Oceananigans.jl).
- Analysed complex geophysical datasets (ROMS, observations).
- Developed and maintained reproducible workflows (Python, Julia, Git, HPC).
- Authored and co-authored peer-reviewed articles.
- Two-month research visit to Stockholm University, Sweden.
- Taught courses on oceanography and geophysical modelling.
Teaching Assistant
University of Oslo- Taught various courses in mathematics and mechanics.
- Organised weekly group sessions of up to 30 students, prepared teaching material, and graded assignments.
