Presentation

I work as a senior engineer at the Faculty of Medicine and as a researcher at Oslo University Hospital, with a background in microbiology, infection biology and proteomics. 

I have previously served as a deputy member of the Klinmed Institute Council and the MED Faculty Board. Through my work as an engineer, PhD candidate, postdoctoral researcher, researcher and university lecturer, I have gained broad experience in research, teaching and collaboration across basic research, clinical practice and administration.

This experience has given me an understanding of the importance of good conditions for professional development, collaboration and knowledge sharing. I wish to contribute to a faculty that values employees’ expertise and fosters an inclusive and stimulating working environment.
