Academic interests

My main research motivation is to search for the answer to the questions: What does the Universe look like beyond the Standard Model, What is Dark Matter, What is the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry and What happened at the birth of the Universe and how did it evolve?

I am currently leader of the Norwegian Centre for CERN-related research (NorCC), a large centre with over 200 participants from UiO, UiB, HVL, UiA, USN, NTNU and CERN. The activities in the centre ranges from participation in the ATLAS and ALICE experiment, both analysis, computing and detector R&D, to technology and theory. We organise workshop, seminars and have a Young Researcher Council for our younger participants.

I am interested in particle physics, astroparticle fysikk and detector development to research data from ongoing experiments like the ATLAS detector (Dark Matter, Supersymmetry) at CERN and to build novel detectors and experiments like the Cherenkov Telescope Array and the upgrade of ATLAS for HL-LHC (silicon detector research) which may enable us to understand more in the future. I am also involved in an experiment which aims to measure the fall of antimatter in the gravitational field of Earth at the AEGIS experiment at CERN.

Students and Staff on my finished projects are now working in industry (computing, machine learning) or pursued an academic career (staff at CERN, personal postdoctor from the Norwegian Research Council, Marie Curie Fellowship, CERN PhD)
