- Education: PhD in Physics (2007), Cand. scient. in Physics (2003)
Research interests include radiation tolerance in semiconductors (e.g., Ga₂O₃), defect engineering, and nanomaterial characterization. He managed NORTEM (Oslo node) from 2011–2023, a national infrastructure for electron microscopy, and now directs SMN, coordinating over 100 researchers across physics and chemistry.
Key contributions include advancements in STEM-EELS methodology for band gap mapping and defect analysis, as well as studies on gallium oxide polymorphs and plasmonic materials. His work bridges theory and experiment to advance functional materials for quantum technology, catalysis, and renewable energy systems.
