Academic interests
I am interested in developing and utilizing new materials with exciting properties in new or immature technology. My PhD work revolves around new anode materials for Na-ion batteries (NIBs), such as antimony chalcogenides (e.g. Sb2Se3), and I study these with the aid of advanced characterization techniques, such as operando X-ray diffraction. I am often at the Swiss-Norwegian Beamlines in Grenoble, France, to study the charge- and discharge mechanisms of Sb-chalcogenides in NIBs.
Teaching
You'll meet me in the following courses: KJM3120 Inorganic Materials Chemistry (from autumn 2021), MENA3300 Nanotechnology (from spring 2022), KJM2500 Synthesis and Characterization (spring 2024), and KJM1121 Inorganic Chemistry (spring 2024). You can also find me participating in school visits arranged by the Department of Chemistry.
Background
I have a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Bergen. Both my Bachelor's and Master's projects revolved around the CO2-adsorption properties of MOFs.
