Tasks performed

I am the leader of the IT section of Department of BIology and Department of Molecular Biosciences. The tasks of this section are:

  • Purchase, installment and maintenance of computers for the employees
  • Installing software for the employees
  • Aid and tutoring regarding various IT-related questions
  • To function as a service section

Background

I have a master degree in biology from University of Oslo. I worked at the Norwegian Polar Institute before I was employed as IT section leader at the departments in 2000.
