Academic interests
Functional thin-films, Nanomaterials, Solid-state physics/chemistry, Solar cells, Sensors, Luminescence, Neutron detection, Optical Materials, Passivation
Current Project: INDet (UiO/SINTEF)
Aim of the project is to enhance the sensitivity of 3D neutron detectors by optimizing geometry, materials and structure. My contribution to the project is to deposit and characterize thin films used to passivate the interface between the silicon and neutron absorber.
Background
Bachelor og master in materials, energy og nanotechnology from the University of Oslo. Ph. D in light converting materials from the University of Oslo. Spent one year researching and developing an optical temperature sensor. Worked half a year as a researcher for Baldur Coatings AS with deposition and characterization of potenially superconducting thin-films.
